I'm 24 and I have a moderate hearing loss (my hearing is worst than my mom's who's 56 years old), great to see deaf people gaining space in the media :)

I'm gonna be honest... I don't know who this woman is. Like I remember watching the halftime show but I don't recall her being a part of it. Where was she?

she was doing sign language interpretation somewhere on the sidelines. I didn’t see her until I saw clips of her performance online. so I’m unsure who was able to watch her during the Super Bowl itself.

This is actually a major complaint of the deaf community. Sign language interpreters aren’t anywhere on the screen or even on the same stage and you have to go to a separate site to see it. She happened to go viral because people who did go to that site shared her out, but it isn’t accessibility to hide the disability access people.

You're absolutely right. I think the movie "Sound of Metal" did a great job of giving me awareness on just how much able-bodied and disabled spaces are segregated. Deaf and hearing folk respectively should be allowed to enjoy art at the same time. Will our experiences be the same? No, but fuck it, who cares? We can coexist.

My mind was blown, how much better her speaking got from the begining of the interview. I was having hard time understanding it and then I just fell in love with her voice and energy

almost always if you catch a sign language interpreter at a concert they are super high energy and fun to watch.
