I am also excited to see her in the lead role. Sorry, but I’m not sure what her disability is....?

Lily is hearing impaired and wears hearing aids in both ears. She has talked a lot about trying to ignore it when she was younger because she didn't want to be "different" and is now the Youth Ambassador for the National Foundation for the Deaf.

IMO a large part of her taking on the Lead role will be to raise awareness - the fact that the next video after the Bette teaser relates to cochlear implants is no accident IMO. I'll bring over a few videos etc while we're on the topic and edit them in

Very excited woman to finally announce my Youth Ambassador role with The National foundation for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. At the underripe age of 15 I found out that my ears were garbage. At the time I really had no understanding of how this hearing loss could impact my future, my mental health, my relationships, confidence and general well being. I was just a kid, trying to navigate my way through an issue I felt no one else could really understand. I didn’t want to talk about it with some polo shirt wearing middle aged audiologist who had perfect hearing himself. At the time there was no one around me that I could relate to, no other young people in the media industry talking about it. I felt so isolated and disjointed. I remember when I first found out about my hearing loss, my natural instinct was to feel embarrassed, ashamed and upset with myself, as if it were somehow my own fault. I felt like if I ignored it, refused to accept any kind of help, then it would just disappear. I had no idea the direct impact this had on mental health, I had no idea of all the things that I’d miss out on. It took me a long time to come to terms with the embarrassment and negative feelings that are attached to this stigma. Now coming on to 23 years of age, I’ve never been more at peace with this woman thing that I am. If I can be that person that I needed when I was 15, someone to look up to, someone who’s been there and can say that everything is going to be okay, then my work here is done. I am absolutely ecstatic that I have this opportunity to do my bit to help this next lot of lil humans to come. Myself and the @nationalfoundationfordeaf team are working on some incredible projects that I can’t wait to show you guys. Big love to my @celebritytreasureisland family for allowing me play for a charity that hits so close to home. Much love mates, look after each other. #listenup, #nfdhoh, #youthhearingloss, #hearing #hearingloss #hearingaids #youth

A real heart string puller being up on stage with such an incredible bunch of young women for the Listen Up conference 2019. Hearing all the stories these young women had to tell brought back so much of my own emotions that I dealt with when I was their age. My heart is so full knowing that the world is becoming a much more accessible place for young people with hearing disabilities. The strength and courage these women show every single day is nothing short of admirable. They will conquer the world and I’m so bloody excited to be able watch. This event has made me even more eager for the coming year, where I’ll be reaching out to more incredible young New Zealanders in schools as a Youth Ambassador for National Foundation for Deaf & Hard of Hearing. #ListenUp2019 #YouthHearingLoss

When I was even more of a fetus than I am now (15) I found out some pretty heavy news. I know now that there are so many bigger issues in the world but to a 15 year old girl, it cut pretty deep. Coming from the most indestructible child that used to throw herself in 10ft waves at the beach out front of her house in a thunderstorm whilst still wearing her school uniform socks, It f***ing sucked. I could catch spiders in cups but this wasn’t the kind of problem I could ever manage to get inside a cup. 7 years ago you wouldn’t have heard about it. Yet today I believe that speaking about what’s up is single handedly the most important thing you can do for both yourself and those around you. I wear hearing aids. My ears f***ing suck real bad. But that’s okay. Coming to terms with a disability/illness/mental health issues, anything you have but can’t control is bloody hard. Take it from me, it took me almost 7 years to feel all good about it. Dream outcome is having this help at least one person take another step towards coming to terms with something. I know I’m just a bachelor wash up but I’m always free to talk if anyone needs it. (Congratulations if you made it through all of these videos, I barely did) Look after each other.
