  • 65: Sky's Story- Life Of A CODA

    In this episode, we finally complete our team's "Story" episodes by having Sky sit down with Aidan to share their experiences all about living and growing up as a Child Of Deaf Adult (CODA). This conversation explores personal challenges, their own experiences and grievances about how the world isn't efficiently catering for the deaf community. Here they also share their love for people like Rose Ailying Ellis, who have been staple points in the last few years for raising awareness for the deaf community in ways of their role in Eastenders as Frankie Lewis, their role in Doctor Who as Aliss or their breathtaking couples choice dance to Symphony on Strictly with Giovanni Fletcher.
