In this episode, Sherley is in conversation with Disability Advocate, Kellina Powell. Through her experiences as a deaf individual, Kellina was inspired to develop a program that specializes in building self esteem for young adults with disabilities. In this discussion, Kellina walks us through the moment that she and her family realized she was deaf, her and her family getting used to life as a young deaf person, and more. If you’ve never heard what kind of sound comes out of a hearing aid, you’ll get that insight and so much more in this episode. This is a safe space to have an entryway into learning about the deaf experience and community. There is plenty to learn, so if you’re interested in learning about how to be an ally for the deaf community, give this episode a listen.
Kellina Powell is the author of EveryDay I Am Just Deaf: Life in a Hearing World with Deaf Queen Boss, available now.
