HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! 

She didn’t have a roadmap — just a urgent yet steady love for her daughter.

When my parents learned I was hard of hearing, my mama was handed a DIAGNOSIS, not a guidebook. There were no Instagram communities, no texting audiologists, no plug-and-play parenting tools. It was scary, overwhelming, and full of unknowns.

But she showed up. Again and again.
With the tools she had, she sought out resources for access, for answers, for a future she could barely picture — because no one had shown her what was possible yet. The strength it took to advocate in a language that wasn’t her first, in a system she didn’t grow up in, while trying to protect my joy and my identity... I see it all now as a mother myself.

And I’m honored to share that my mama sat down with me for a conversation inside my online program “My Child Has Hearing Loss, Now What?”— a rare and beautiful look into our journey, from her perspective. It’s tender, powerful, and a reminder that behind every DHH child is someone doing their very best in real time.

Thank you, Mom, for being my first advocate. So much of the mama I am today is shaped by the mama you were — and are — to me. 💛
