Groundbreaking

Heartfelt and hilarious – deaf awareness beautifully told through Sam’s unique voice.
Laura Whitmore -
Samantha is a strong and powerful woman who talks so openly about her life and about being a part of the deaf community. To have someone who wants to help and wants to make a difference is so important and Sam is that person.
Gaby Roslin -
Hilarious and so informative . . . You’ll want to cherish it and thrust it in the face of everyone you meet all at once.
