Sarah and Waffle

Tell us about the artwork.

I’m profoundly deaf and my deafness doesn’t hold me back. Deaf people can do anything.

What inspired you to make your artwork?

I want to show that even though I’m deaf, I can do anything I put my mind to.

What action would you like people to take to make the world better for girls and non-binary young people today?

To see us as equal and that we can do anything.

This artwork is part of WOWsers: A Creative Explosion, an exhibition supported by BBC Children In Need's impact programme focused on children’s mental health, A Million & Me.
