For most of my life, I never felt comfortable using the ILY sign. Deep down, I didn’t feel “deaf enough” to claim it. But starting this IG journey changed everything. It opened my eyes to a bigger world - one filled with deaf identity, transformation, learning, and community. Along the way, I’ve grown into my deafness and embraced it as a gift, not something I had to justify. This space has taught me that identity isn’t about being “enough.” It’s about showing up, learning, and belonging together. And for that, I’m endlessly grateful. 💜 “The beauty of identity is that it’s not something you arrive at, it’s something you grow into.” Thank you for being here, for walking this journey with me, and for helping build a community where we can all feel seen and heard. 👉 Tell me in the comments: what part of your identity are you learning to embrace more fully? #ILY #DeafIdentity #MamaHuHears #TransformationJourney
