Kennesaw State alumna to compete in international Deaflympics games in Tokyo
July 31, 2025
Tawnecia Rush ’24 has worn hearing aids since she was 9 years old. In conversation, she focuses intently on the people she’s speaking with, supplementing what she hears with expert lip reading. Occasionally, she says “Pardon?” when she needs a speaker to repeat what they’ve said. On the basketball court, communication was always much more fluid. Since she began playing with her father and brothers as a child at the Boys and Girls Club, Rush’s hearing impairment has never hindered her.

But in the end, they found that Kennesaw State University fit all their needs. “We did a plethora of research to find a school that’s right for us,” said Jessica Okafor, triplet to Angela and Benita. “There was always at least one missing piece in the schools that we looked through, until we found KSU.
