| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Strong Women Podcast, where each week we explore a deeper understanding of the |
| 0:06.6 | humanity, value, intellect, and creativity of women. I'm Erin Kunkel. And I'm Sarah Stone Street. We're so |
| 0:13.7 | glad you're here. Well, welcome back to the Strong Women podcast, and this is one of our reflection episodes where |
| 0:24.2 | Sarah and I just processed one of the interviews that we just finished recording with our |
| 0:30.1 | amazing guests. And Sarah, this guest has just blown you and I away. We hung up with her and we both said, whoa. |
| 0:41.1 | So MFA Redkin was the guest that we talked to and she's very young, very beautiful and very amazing inside and out. |
| 0:52.3 | First of all, she is deaf and we were able to have her on the podcast, which is a |
| 1:00.1 | testimony to her incredible work. She talked about doing speech therapy for 10 years, all the work |
| 1:09.1 | she has done to be able just to even communicate and function in society, |
| 1:15.3 | you know, as well as she can with reading lips and using her hearing aid, which helps with |

| 1:38.6 | question about mass and how that's been for her, having no clue what she would answer. We did not prep her for that. |
| 1:47.1 | It just popped in my mind. And I was fighting back tears a little bit hearing her talk about that, |
| 1:53.7 | weren't you, Sarah? It was not what I had even anticipated, she would say. So my pastor's wife is very hard of hearing and she is just |
| 2:04.5 | the most adorable lady, like very bubbly and super engaging. And so she's done a lot of work too |
| 2:11.5 | to figure out how to engage well, even though she's hard of hearing and everything. But I learned |
| 2:17.2 | from her that it was hard |
| 2:18.6 | with masks because she reads lips. She relies so heavily on reading lips. And so I had known in the |
| 2:25.5 | back of my head, that must be hard. But I had no idea until Emma Faye had walked us through this |
| 2:31.6 | that it really felt dehumanizing to her specifically, |
| 2:36.7 | because here she was an independent woman who has worked so hard, like you mentioned, |
