Deaf Leaders Series

Meet Our Everyday Heroes

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there’s an estimated 466 million people worldwide with hearing loss. So, it should not come as a surprise that some of our most talented historical figures, celebrities, and social influencers are deaf or hard of hearing. Safe’N’Clear recognizes deaf leaders in the deaf and hard of hearing community who have various perspectives on deafness and are in different places with their journey, and working to break stigmas enabling others to live a meaningful life.
