Meet Olivia.
Hi, my name is Olivia. I am from the UK and I am 23 years old. I am profoundly Deaf with a cochlear implant on my right side. I frequently use spoken English and British Sign Language (BSL) throughout my life to communicate with Deaf/hard of hearing and hearing people.
Having that confidence is important because that is when you will realize you can do anything you want to do. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise! Just keep being yourself. There are many doors that are ready to be opened just for you. Just don’t let your deafness stop you from doing what you love, we are just humans. We can do literally anything that others can do! I really wish I could tell my younger self all of this stuff! Now it’s my turn to say it to you.Thank you for reading this.
Much Love, Olivia Dillon
