<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In part one, Kaylee shares her experience being a Deaf individual. She talks about what it\u2019s like navigating school, opens up about some of the struggles she faces, and explains the best thing about being Deaf.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

\n

Part One<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

FBTS: Do you identify as deaf with a lower case d, a capital D, hard of hearing?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Kaylee Lartigue (KL)<\/strong>: I identify as Deaf with a capital D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBTS: How long have you been Deaf?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL:<\/strong> I was born with a hearing loss in one ear. And then, I mean, the other ear was fine. I could hear just fine until about age three. And I became deaf in both ears. So I started technically being deaf in both ears at age three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBTS: What was it like knowing that eventually, you would lose all your hearing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL:<\/strong> It was a little bit hard for me\u2026it was just a change. I realized I didn\u2019t understand things that people were saying. So we went to the doctor to see how much more I was planning on losing my hearing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBTS: What has it been like navigating school as a Deaf person?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL:<\/strong> It\u2019s been difficult because I can\u2019t always understand what other people are saying. And I don\u2019t know when it\u2019s time to sit. Or if there\u2019s a roomful of people, and everyone\u2019s talking, I don\u2019t know what\u2019s going on around me. So that\u2019s tough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During classes, I do have an interpreter. But during free time, like lunch or whatnot, I do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of my friends sign. I mean, I do try and teach them a little bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBTS: How do you communicate? Do you have to lip-read?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL:<\/strong> I do [lip-read]\u2026it\u2019s exhausting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBTS: As a Deaf person, what are some struggles you face?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL: <\/strong>With school, specifically, I mean, it\u2019s tiring. There\u2019s\u2013 we always have to remind the teacher that they need captions for things, for videos that they show in class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And recently, I started modeling. And it\u2019s difficult to understand what the photographer wants and what they\u2019re saying to me, especially when there\u2019s other conversations going on. There\u2019s a loud environment around usually. But people who\u2019ve been working with me have been trying to learn sign to be able to communicate with me. So that\u2019s been good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBTS: What do you wish that hearing people could understand about your experience being Deaf?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL:<\/strong> There\u2019s a lot. There\u2019s a lot that I wish. I wish that hearing people would understand that we\u2019re people, too. And we can do whatever you can do, too. And we feel emotions. And it\u2019s really hard for us to sit in a room that\u2019s full of people who are talking and having their own conversations and be alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBTS: What is the best thing about being Deaf?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL:<\/strong> If I\u2019m tired, and the world\u2019s annoying me\u2013 everyone is bugging me\u2013 then I can just turn it off, turn my hearing aid off. I don\u2019t have to hear anything. It\u2019s really nice. It\u2019s quiet and peaceful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One time, I was younger. I was in trouble. My mom was yelling at me for something. And I was like, OK, I\u2019m all set. So I turned off my hearing aid. Didn\u2019t want to hear her anymore. But then she started to sign to me. So I was like, oh, no. So then I covered my eyes. And then I couldn\u2019t hear or see. So to me, I wasn\u2019t in trouble anymore.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Part TWo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In part two, Kaylee tells the story of how Deaf Girl Evolution and Deaf Dreams came to be a reality. The goals for Deaf Dreams center around providing resources and support for deaf people who may need assistance in reaching their dreams.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
\n

FBTS: What inspired you to start Deaf Girl Evolution?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Kaylee Lartigue (KL):<\/strong> A lot of the times, hearing people tell me what I can and can\u2019t do. And I don\u2019t like that. I don\u2019t like when people tell me what my limits are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I started Deaf Girl Evolution to teach people, to educate people and young Deaf children and kids and Hard of Hearing [kids] that hearing people do not decide what your max is, what your limit is. You respect your own limits. And you know yourself better than they do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I go to different schools. And I educate everyone there about Deaf and Hard of Hearing students and culture. I have videos on YouTube that I put up and posted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBTS: What\u2019s the difference between Deaf Girl Evolution and Deaf Dreams?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL: <\/strong>Deaf Girl Evolution is more\u2013 is my persona, if you will. And Deaf Dream is more\u2013 is my nonprofit organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have three missions or goals for the [Deaf Dreams] foundation. And the first one is to give free hearing aids, or FM systems if you will, for people who maybe don\u2019t have the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second aim is to raise money to help donate to people who are Deaf and Hard of Hearing, who maybe can\u2019t get to that dream that they\u2019ve been working toward, that they want. Like, if someone wants to learn guitar, I will help raise money for them so that they can get a teacher. And so they can go live their life and live their dream to play guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And there are camps that are not necessarily only for Deaf and Hard of Hearing, but that are for hearing people. But it\u2019s more to\u2013 so I want to establish a camp for Deaf children. But a lot of camps already have ones that allow Deaf kids. But I would love at the same time for their siblings who are hearing to go with them to camp. So that\u2019s the third aim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBTS: What have been your proudest moments?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL:<\/strong> Showing hearing people that they\u2019re wrong and I\u2019m right. When I was younger, I had a teacher who told me that I wouldn\u2019t graduate high school with a reading level beyond the fifth grade. So I started reading a lot. And now I can read at what my grade level is supposed to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBTS: What\u2019s a common mistake that hearing people make about Deaf people?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL:<\/strong> There are a lot of times that hearing people will meet someone who\u2019s Deaf. And they think they need help. Or they think they have to talk louder so that they can hear them. But it\u2019s offensive, kind of. It\u2019s kind of like if someone who was blind, and you thought you could help them see better by coming closer to them\u2013 I mean, it doesn\u2019t work that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBTS: How would you address those misconceptions?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL:<\/strong> I mean, people who are talking louder obviously think that they can help. But that is their own misconception and their own judgment\u2026And that\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if someone\u2019s going to tell me that I can\u2019t do something because I can\u2019t hear\u2013 I can\u2019t do it because I can\u2019t hear whatever they\u2019re saying\u2013 that\u2026is going to make me really angry because I am the exact same as that person. The only difference is hearing loss. I can throw a ball. I can dance. I can run. Whatever you can do, I can do and maybe better.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Part Three<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In part three, Kaylee touches on how technology can help with communication but emphasizes that leaving accessibility out of the conversation is detrimental. Kaylee doesn\u2019t want people to be afraid to talk to her. She hopes that hearing individuals take the initiative to strike up a conversation with her by learning basic American Sign Language phrases or by utilizing apps on their phones.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

FBTS: How do you feel that technology either helps or hurts your communication?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL: <\/strong>In terms of hearing aids, they\u2019ve gotten progressively better over the years. And now, my hearing aid\u2019s actually connected to my phone. So I can hear people better when they call. So I can talk to them on the phone sometimes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a different\u2013 there\u2019s a lot of interpreters, a range of interpreters, as well. There\u2019s captions for videos, in terms of technology. There\u2019s a lot of different ways that have been helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it always would be amazing if ASL became one of the few main languages, like English or Spanish. It would be great if it was English, Spanish, and sign language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started an ASL club. But there\u2019s no class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBTS: How do you feel when you come across a video that isn\u2019t captioned?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL:<\/strong> Disappointed, mad, upset, because now I can\u2019t enjoy the video where other people can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it\u2019s annoying when [the captions] are wrong. Especially because other hearing people, they\u2019ll be watching it. If they\u2019re watching at the same time [as me], if they see the captions are wrong, they\u2019ll start giggling to themselves. So then I know<\/em> something\u2019s wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBTS: What message do you have for content creators?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL:<\/strong> It would be amazing if the content producers could spend the time to really make correct captions. My mom uses iMovie. And she does the captions. And they\u2019re\u2013 it as easy as that, so on iMovie. It\u2019s not hard. It\u2019s like other apps. They have other apps as well that can put down captions for you. There\u2019s lots of options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FBTS: What are some ways a hearing person could communicate with you?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

KL:<\/strong> I prefer if that person tried an app. There is word translation to sign apps. There is different kinds of apps. There\u2019s different apps that will teach you sign. So someone could check a word and just try and use that sign when they approach a Deaf person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And the reason that I say that\u2013 and I don\u2019t necessarily prefer writing and showing me a piece of paper\u2013 is that a lot of Deaf people don\u2019t know necessarily how to read or write super well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, if that person only speaks American Sign Language, they\u2019re not necessarily going to understand the words that are written\u2013 it\u2019s possible\u2013 and the grammar as well. So it\u2019s not only the words but the grammar with the written word. It\u2019s not the same as English. ASL is not the same as English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We always have to be the ones to try. We have to fake a smile. We have to act like we understand what you\u2019re saying. And when we go to the movies with friends who are hearing, we\u2019re watching the movie. And if there are no captions, we have to act like we\u2019re enjoying it. So it would be better. It would be amazing, once, if a hearing person tried, just tried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
