Watching the Vimeo film link by Christine Sun Kim, opened up my eyes to her disability taking ownership and utilising her disability to make it work for herself was inspirational. Seeing how she maneuvered herself around life to make it work. With frustrations on trying to communicate ideas with her parents and feeling suffocated was sad. Seeing Christine Sun Walking in the street with hundreds of people passing by made me realise I could have easily been one of those people. Maybe not even noticing that someone is going through the notions of their disability of being deaf. I couldn’t imagine not being able to express my self without sound.

I had a similar experience watching Christine Sun Kim’s film; I found her ability to embrace her disability truly inspiring. Watching as she navigates life despite communication struggles and feeling trapped was moving, and is an eye-opener to how often we forget the experiences of people living with disabilities in everyday life.
