I am Helen Keller's Daughter

Laura Newman

My mother is at the center of my homelessness, abusive relationships, and my development of anxiety and PTSD. I depict my experiences as the daughter of Helen Keller by communicating my mother's dark and quiet world due to her hearing and vision loss. I share my battle to live simultaneously with the dominant hearing culture and the deaf and blind community. I utilize my and her trauma to reach a vast audience seeking familiarity with my stories for healing. I guide listeners on restoring and healing our inner wounds so we can live and love ourselves. Our collective healing starts here.
