Deaf Influencing & Inclusion - featuring Kellina

Dr. Stephanie Van talks with Kellina aka @deafqueenboss about her experience as a deaf influencer and advocate in a hearing world, and her goal of becoming the first deaf mental health professional that she or I have ever met.
[Image description: On the left, a young Black woman with dark roots and long bright pink hair wearing glasses and smiling tucks her hair behind her ears to reveal a hearing aid. On the right, a young Asian woman with long black hair wearing a teal scrubs smiles back at her, while holding her index finger up to her bottom lip, signing the second part of the sign for “Deaf.” The text across the top in black letters and a pink background reads “Influencing & Inclusion” and similar text along the bottom reads “featuring Kellina”]
