5.17 Representation with Sarah Tubert & Katelyn Brooke

How cool would it have been to see yourself in a book when you were a kid? For Sarah Tubert, not only did she not see anyone like her in print or on screen, but she didn't see anyone like her in real life either. At the age of three, a surgeon's error left Sarah with facial paralysis and hearing loss, but Sarah's indomitable spirit led her to overcome these obstacles. Today, not only is she is a series regular on Disney's "Primos," making history as the first Deaf Latina Voice Over actress in an animated series, she also captains the USA Deaf Women's National Volleyball Team and is a motivational speaker and now champions others' differences through a new book about her life called, The Girl with the Crooked Smile. Co-Author of the new book, and Sarah's best friend is Katelyn Brooke. Katelyn has spent nearly two decades in the entertainment industry, starting as a songwriter before transitioning into stunt performance. With over ten years as a professional stuntwoman, she has always embraced creativity and storytelling in many forms. Now, she is embarking on an exciting new journey as a children’s book author. Her debut book, The Girl with the Crooked Smile, is a heartfelt project, inspired by Sarah and the belief that dreams have no limits and kindness is always in style. You can learn more about the book on their website.And follow Sarah and Katelyn on Instagram.
