Deaf representation has come a long way in Hollywood.
“Coda’s” release and subsequent best picture Oscar win marked an important moment for deaf audiences. It showed the most significant representation of the community on a global stage since 1986’s “Children of a Lesser God” earned Marlee Matlin a best actress prize.
“Hollywood is making that shift from diversity for optics to something deeper,” says Lauren Ridloff, a deaf actor best known for her work on “Eternals” and “The Walking Dead.”
That deeper shift includes recent projects where deaf representation has been the focus of major storylines. Director James Cameron called on C.J Jones to create Na’vi sign language, featured in “Avatar: The Way of Water.” HBO’s “The Last of Us” offered up another landmark moment when the show about a post-apocalyptic world featured Keivonn Woodard, as a young deaf Black man trying to survive zombie hordes. Last year,...

Even over a video call, Raven Sutton's energy is infectious - as bold and bright as her cobalt-blue hair. The 27-year-old recently made history as the first deaf contestant to ever enter Netflix's playful reality series "The Circle." But in all honesty, she's just here to play the game (and maybe even win). Sutton was initially introduced to the show while searching for entertainment at the peak of the pandemic. "I would consider myself a super fan. Let's be clear on that," she establishes right away, her two interpreters bridging the gap between American Sign Language and spoken word. "I loved the drama on it, I loved the connections. I mean everything about it," she tells Popsugar. However, she quickly realized that watching "The Circle" was nothing compared to the excitement of being on the show herself.

American Sign Language interpreter Kelly Kurdi just proved that you don't have to be Megan Thee Stallion to embody her "hot girl summer" mentality. Thanks to her dedicated performance, a video of Kurdi signing along to "Wap" during Megan's steamy July 31 Lollapalooza set recently went viral. In the video, Kurdi can be seen dancing to the music while signing various gagging and choking motions to Cardi B's lyrics "I don't wanna spit, I wanna gulp / I wanna gag, I wanna choke / I want you to touch that lil' dangly thing that swing in the back of my throat."
After the clip of her blew up on Twitter, Kurdi made sure to give credit to the "Wap" interpretation's original creator, Raven Sutton. In an Instagram post on Aug. 3, Kurdi used her newfound fame to highlight and amplify creators from the Deaf community. "Thanks for the love on my page from...
