Description
Emmanuelle Laborit's journey began when her parents discovered she was deaf at nine months old. Her early education was typical for a young deaf child in France, but it was an encounter with Alfredo Corrado and his interpreter Bill Moody that changed everything. For the first time, Emmanuelle met an adult who was deaf, communicating through sign language and facial expressions. This new world opened up a new way of expressing herself, but also presented challenges. As a defiant teenager, she struggled to find constructive ways to use her boundless energy and determination. It wasn't until she had an honest self-appraisal at 17 that Emmanuelle resolved to make a difference in the lives of deaf people and pursue her passion for acting. This book is a personal memoir that explores Emmanuelle Laborit's journey towards self-discovery, empowerment, and advocacy for the deaf community.
