What’s something you thought would break you but it didn’t? The It Didn’t Break Me podcast answers this question. Each season of, It didn’t break me, is created with the intention of being a safe space for honest and vulnerable conversations with people, who share their transformational life stories around the messy stuff they didn't think they'd come back from, and yet they are still here, courageously accepting themselves as they are and giving themselves permission to show up as their true self letting their light shine. Join Bianca Kesha Hughes as she is setting boundaries and breaking barriers in all areas of her life, allowing others to share how they have as well and inspiring you to discover the beauty within the mess.

episode 27: Your Disability Does Not Define You with Kellina Powell
In addition to March being Women's History Month, did you know it is also National Deaf History Month? In this episode, I am so excited to speak with Kellina Powell. Kellina is an entrepreneur, author and life coach who loves to help differently-abled people on their journey to personal growth. At the age of 4, she became hard of hearing after an ear infection. Through her speech therapist, she was able to learn ways to communicate with the hearing world. She now uses her experiences to assist others. In honor of Kellina, I have attached a transcript with this episode.
I invite you to join our conversation as Kellina and I discuss:
- Hearing loss
- Ruptured Eardrum
- Speech Therapist
- American Sign Language (ASL)
- Self Advocacy
- Reading Lips
- Hearing Aids
- Bullying
- Peer Pressure
