Cultural Diversity + Inclusion Segment: KODA Student Interviews (By Kiele Shultz)
In our continuing series regarding diversity and inclusion at St. Michael's, senior Kiele Shultz delves into the complexities of deaf culture with several fellow SMCA students.
"Here at SMCA we have many different cultures, including different languages and KODAs (kids of deaf adults). We don't often realize it, but KODAs have their own language and culture. At St Michael’s we have four KODAs, and I was able to interview three of them. Freshman Isabelle Lacey has two deaf parents along with a deaf uncle and grandma, freshman Sydney Campbell who has one deaf parent, and junior Mia Bannon who has two deaf parents," Kiele Shultz wrote to introduce her interview segment.
