In this episode of Hear Us Out, we sit down with Vanessa Marano and Katie LeClerc, stars of the groundbreaking series Switched at Birth. Together, they reflect on the show’s cultural impact, its authentic portrayal of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community, and the friendships that grew from it. We talk about the craft of acting, the importance of representation on screen, and the ways storytelling can bridge communities. Vanessa and Katie also share behind-the-scenes moments, personal passions, and how their experiences have shaped the way they connect with audiences today.

It’s a conversation filled with laughter, insight, and a genuine celebration of connection—both spoken and signed.
