Love Island 2022 contestant Tasha Ghouri has revealed how she’d love to see more deaf representation on TV, and what she’s doing to try to change that
Since appearing on our screens on Love Island in 2022, Tasha Ghouri – the show's first ever deaf contestant – has been an advocate for deaf awareness and representation on our screens , revealing that this is something she is keen to focus more on in her career.
“I want to continue that momentum by questioning why we can’t have, say, two deaf people on a show, or more than one person in a wheelchair. It’s about making inclusivity not a surprise.” “I hope that people will take this opportunity to learn sign language and to make deaf people feel more included in conversations,” the Love Islander says. “I wish that I had the option back at school, because I had to stop using BSL and I was forced into using speech around people.”
