I'm super psyched that you are doing an AMA! Your album had been going around my deaf culture and ASL club. We're all planning on listening to it together. If you ever want to do a Skype chat with our club or anything wed love to hear from you.
For my question, how has getting a CI and not learning sign until you were at gallaudet changed you in the deaf community? They are a closed group sometimes. As a hearing person, I struggle to feel included even when I 'turn off' my voice for hours and chat with them in ASL. I feel like even though I do sign, there's some part of them that still sees me as different. I've seen people say that having a CI is like straddling the world between Deaf and hearing. What are your thoughts?
