EXCLUSIVE: Tasha Ghouri has detailed the impact that growing up deaf had on her mental health with OK! this week as she marks Deaf Awareness Week - recalling the struggle she had coming to terms with her disability
Tasha Ghouri has revealed details of the challenges she faced while growing up with a cochlear implant, after she was born deaf in both ears.
She told OK!: “As a teenager, you’re trying to figure out who you are as a person and on top of that I’m having to deal with this whole situation, my deafness, figuring out my identity and who I was as a person. Despite a tumultuous childhood coming to terms with her deafness, the star found a safe haven in dance, now seeing her disability as a ‘gift’.
She broke boundaries when appearing on, and placing fourth, the 2022 series of ITV2 dating show Love Island, becoming the first deaf person ever to do so. Hoping to be the driving force behind the changes still to be made, Tasha is a frequent ambassador for charities and organisations supporting the deaf - becoming a role model for those who may be struggling.
