“I am not shy. I know what I need. I know what I don’t need. And I know I am a woman who happens to be deaf, happens to work in Hollywood, and has the same hopes, dreams, and desires as anyone.

“We often think that we have expressed a need clearly. So, for example, we say to our boss, ‘Oh, I have so much work on my plate.’ For us, that means, ‘Please take something off our plate.’ But our manager hears that as she’s busy, but she’s handling it. … So to the extent that you can clarify, so the other person doesn’t have to do quite as much detective work, that will be useful for having your voice and your own needs heard and met.”?Listen to the conversation on our podcast,?Women Amplified.
