Jennette was born in Ballarat. In this digital story, she talks about her personal experience growing up as a deaf person. She recalls learning how to sign and memories with her little brother and parents. Jennette also tells of her children (one of whom was sadly still-born) and grandchildren.
This Digital Storytelling project was created in partnership with the Department of Human Services and the Wellington Shire Council.
