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.

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. Two decades later, her abilities have earned her a spot on the USA Deaf Women’s Basketball team, which will compete in the Deaflympics in Tokyo over two weeks in November.
