@smriti_nagpal grew up w/ 2 older hearing-impaired, siblings. So, she learnt sign language as a child. At 16, she started working as a sign language interpreter w/ the National Association of the Deaf India. She reads sign language news bulletins on @DDNational #sayftyspotlight
After she graduated with a degree in business, a deaf artist approached @smriti_nagpal & asked for a manual labor job. The artist had a graduate-level degree. Smriti was shocked by this request & realized that deaf & mute artists were struggling to find work #sayftyspotlight
