Synopsis "Unmasking Deafness"

Deafness is not one story. It is language, culture, technology, access, identity-and the systems that decide who gets to belong.In Unmasking Deafness, Austin D. Powers turns the mirror outward and inward. Drawing from a childhood with auditory neuropathy and a cochlear implant, mainstream education, Gallaudet University, Deaf community organizations, and life as an ASL creator, he examines the stereotypes hearing society places on Deaf people-and the gatekeeping, concentrated power, and identity policing that can emerge inside Deaf spaces.This is not a demand for one correct way to be Deaf. It is an argument for connection without erasure, access without gratitude, leadership without ownership, and a community large enough to hold complicated people.Personal, direct, and unwilling to flatten either side, Unmasking Deafness asks what changes when Deaf people stop performing for other people's expectations and begin defining their own lives.
