“We have the ability as an industry to change lives and open eyes, we have a responsibility to make a change.”
In this eye opening conversation, Nia meets with Alim to discuss the changes needed within the world of theatre, film and television that will enable both the deaf and sign language communities to be seen and represented in a more truthful and respectful way. As a Coda (child of deaf adults) Alim is shining a light on not only this issue, but the ripple effect that is felt both politically and socially.
Alim on Fishing for the Truth
Nia Fisher in my opinion, has the compassion and heart comparable to what we see in the famous, Oprah.
She has the ability to settle you, make you feel at home and gives you the freedom to sail the ship with her. The final result is a interview that is always earnest, funny and full of love and hope.
I feel privileged to have been in conversation with such a talented soul.
