Dare to be Deaf | Tina Busuik | TEDxJaffaWomen

Tina's life story shows how much having an optimistic approach can bring to life the cliche - "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade".
From a girl who was taken out of her home, raised in boarding schools and moved between houses, she became the owner of a real estate company investing in Israel and in the U.S.!
If that sounds inspiring, how will you respond if you knew Tina was born deaf? How did she do it? And how did she overcome the obstacles in her way?
This and more she shares in a touching and moving talk that shows all of us it may be worth to be deaf from time to time.
This talk is translated from the Sign Language by ‏‎Talya Shemer Etinger‎‏.

For more information on this particular TEDx event, see http://www.tedxjaffa.com Tina was born deaf, to deaf parents who did not know sign language. At the age of 8 she was placed in a home for children with dysfunctional parents.
With almost no ability to communicate, she was bullied by the other girls and had to learn to cope and fit in.
From an uncommunicative deaf child, Tina has become a successful international real estate investor and personal empowerment speaker. Her deafness doesn’t stop or define her, and from a life that felt like black and white she is living in full color.
Tina believed that sometimes, we should all be deaf to the voices around us, because anything is possible. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
