'Building a Business Because I Was Written Off from Jobs Just Because I'm Deaf' with Erin Perkins from Mabely Q

Welcome to The Hear Me Out! [CC] Podcast, an audio show (with transcripts included) where we listen to stories from fascinating individuals in and around the d/Deaf community and from your host, yours truly, Ahmed Khalifa.
In this episode, I chat to Erin Perkins from Mabely Q, who was tired of being told what she can't do, from being written off from jobs or offered lower salary than her experience level, just because she was born deaf. So she decided to start her own graphic design business.
Being a deaf entrepreneur comes with challenges, but after chatting with Erin, you will learn that everyone has their own challenges but it doesn't have to stop you from progressing in your career.
Erin shares fascinating insights on her background, the barriers during her corporate careers, how she works with her (hearing) clients with the help of technology and what others can learn from her if they are thinking about starting a business.
