Emma Faye Rudkin lost her hearing during childhood. She learned sign language, how to read someone s lips as they spoke and how to speak with her own voice. It wasn t easy. Years of therapy and speech therapy. I do actually use sign language now as an adult,” she said.
Rudkin has turned her experience into a way to help others. She now runs Aid The Silent, a nonprofit that advocates for the hearing impaired. And she s recently teamed up with KLRN, San Antonio s PBS affiliate, to produce one-minute videos that offer important life lessons to young people. Most especially, kindness.
