In this episode, Ashley Hayes discusses her experience with hearing loss and life as a deaf advocate and educator.

ABOUT ASHLEA:
Ashlea was born and raised in Compton, CA. She was bitten by the acting bug in 2009, stemming from her love of storytelling as a child. In 2011, she joined the SAG-AFTRA union and has been honing her craft ever since.  Ashlea has been active in the Deaf community for 27 years. She has been involved in several community organizations, all with the goal of empowering the Deaf community as well as educating the Hearing community about Deaf Culture. When she isn't volunteering her time to the community, or working on a new production,  she is teaching ASL at Fusion Academy and El Camino College.
