      I believe she went deaf later in life, so she would have learned to talk "normally" before that. But it's important to remember many deaf people don't talk at all which is also perfectly fine. Some people view speech as superior to sign language, which has been a harmful mindset to a lot of Deaf people. (Not saying that you were meaning that, just as a general PSA. 😊)

    "Disability is RARELY the problem. The problem is often society creating arbitrary barriers and we all need to work together to remove those barriers." -Haben
    I couldn't agree more with this assessment. It's similar to my experience as an autistic adult whose been bending the world around me for years.

      It also depends on the kind of disability. Because when you have MS or nerve issues, it's hard to focus. It's really about the level of energy and equipment to help you work.

      People rarely go out of their way to help others in something that won't benefit themselves somehow. It's not that they're creating barriers, they just don't want to take the effort to accommodate the disability. If you were a business owner and you had the choice of hiring a disabled person who needed specialized access to the building, specialized equipment to work, etc. vs someone who doesn't, it's a no brainer.
      This goes the same for hiring women who are child bearing and require maternity leave.
      Not saying it's right, just telling it how it is.

    • @sosassteelstrings9623
      @sosassteelstrings9623 4 года назад +1

      Im not sure if that was a serious question (probably not). But I'll still answer.
      Being a woman isn't a disability. Woman just like any other being is us of value and can become great.
      But when you have a mentality that the world is rigged to favor straight white men. Being a woman is seen as an underdog of sorts.
      Whether being a woman is disadvantages, true or not. A contradiction to that way of thinking is the marvelous, hard working, young lady in the video.
      She decided to take her future and develop into something greater than what people may have told her. (You're female, of color, a refugee, deaf, & blind. In this part of the world you can't succeed)
      She decided to take responsibility of her life. Not to wait for the world to change (it won't ). All we can do is change our habits and our mentality to then change our outcome

    When she says “Don’t call me inspirational.”, I cannot help, but to smile and 100% agree with her statement. The fact that society has this horrible mindset that causes them to either put us down with pity or place us on pedestals and say that we are clearly inspirational to people who aren’t disabled is really harmful to people with disabilities as a whole. I don’t see myself as being inspirational because of having cerebral palsy and ADHD, and I try really hard to keep my composure when people say that to me. If people could only open their minds and realize that no matter the disability, we are just as much the same as time, we can educate them and get rid of society’s stereotypes and messed up perceptions of disabilities once and for all.

    I lost most of my hearing when I was 4. I had to wear hearing aids and I never was bullied until I went to a predominantly urban school. To this day, my biggest setbacks has not been my hearing, but my experiences with people who don't have a good self esteem.
    I rarely think about my disability until I put on my hearing aids and then it's very difficult to process the sounds I'm not used to hearing, so I don't wear them. If people can be deaf and adapt, I can choose to be hearing impaired and adapt as well.

    So for most of the video I was focusing on her being blind and doing all these wonderful things and then I remembered she’s deaf too! So when she’s doing her comedy improv, she can’t hear anyone but reads it on her Braille notebook. That is a whole new level of difficulty for comedy. Timing and delivering is everything in comedy and she’s still doing it. I’m honestly floored by her determination and success. So proud of her! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

    How can she talk so well? I assumed since she can’t hear she doesn’t know what she’s saying because she can’t hear. EDIT: speech therapy might be the answer! I'm not trying to be negative, my experience with deaf people have been that they can't talk this well and I assumed it wasn't possibility or they would've done it

      I know her. She is legally deaf and blind. She has extremely limited vision and can hear if you yell. However, people who can't hear at all can still learn attend speech therapy. My point is basically that she can hear, but being yelled at and straining to hear is no way to live.

      @@C_HelloThereomg you are just saying that because she is deaf. 🤦🏾‍♀️ she doesn't have an accent because she can hear. Being deaf and/or blind doesnt necessarily mean you can't see or hear at all. It means you are legally considered deaf or blind. She can hear if you yell so I'm sure she just had amplified headphones.

Of course it would be great if everything was accessible to everyone, but there’s a good reason why the disabilities act goes as far as it does

    That's not to diminish her accomplishments. If anyone deserves $ to help smooth the way, it's someone like this. And without her strong will, the $ would have only got her so far.
