Every experience deserves to be heard. It’s by opening our hearts to listen that certain truths are revealed.

Through my conferences, I share my experience to highlight challenges that are often invisible yet essential, such as linguistic deprivation or the difficulties of finding one’s place experienced by deaf children and adults.

Imagine a child who, through lack of access to French Sign Language (LSF), struggles to understand the world, to express himself, to feel understood. Imagine an adult who has spent his or her life navigating between the world of hearing and that of signs, without ever finding his or her true place. These stories are not exceptions: they are the reality of many deaf people.

That’s why I raise awareness. Because, together, we can do better. Through my books and conferences, I tell people about these realities, but I also offer keys to help them on their journey. My aim: to raise awareness and inspire concrete action to build a more inclusive society, where everyone can achieve their full potential.

I can intervene in various places, such as :

• Schools and colleges
• Universities
• Associations
• Libraries

Each conference is an invitation to break down barriers, open up new paths, and give everyone the chance to be themselves, free and understood.

Because today, although the subject of language deprivation in Langue des Signes Française is sometimes raised, it is often presented in a discreet, almost hidden way. The media – whether television, magazines, radio or even Google – don’t give it the visibility it deserves, leaving this essential theme in the shadows.

It is with all my heart and determination that I pledge to break this silence. After sharing my thoughts on Facebook and Instagram, I was deeply touched by the many responses and exchanges. However, I know that it can be difficult for deaf and hearing people alike to fully understand the scope of this subject solely through social networks. Even if everyone shares with their friends or in their groups, there are still barriers.

Aware that in France, every town is often home to a deaf association or home for the deaf, I travel to these places to talk directly with them. These encounters enable me to give concrete expression to this struggle, to share my lectures and, above all, to humanize this crucial subject.

Through these moments of sharing, I want to send out a strong message: this battle concerns us all. Together, we have the power to change things.
