Title of Presentation: Turning a Disability Into an Ability<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Emma Faye became profoundly deaf at the age of three, and she spends her life turning a disability into an ability. She is an internationally known role model for the Deaf (D) and Hard-of-Hearing (HH) community and the founder of the nonprofit organization, Aid the Silent, a network of support designed to help economically disadvantaged D\/HH children and teens reach their full potential and live life more richly. Aid the Silent provides funds for resources, ministry, research, and education.<\/p>\n

Emma Faye was crowned Miss San Antonio in 2015 and 2017, and she placed Top 4 in Miss Texas 2017. She was named 2018 San Antonio\u2019s Woman of the Year by the San Antonio Business Journal (SABJ), and Governor Greg Abbott appointed Emma Faye to serve her second term on the Texas Governor\u2019s Committee on People with Disabilities. Morgan\u2019s Wonderland placed her on their Wall of Fame as an individual who has gone above and beyond to do great things for people with special needs. In 2020, she was selected as Oticon People\u2019s Choice Advocacy Winner.<\/p>\n

Emma Faye travels around the country speaking at business conventions, schools, ministries, churches, and conferences. She shares her story of redemption and informs others about the Aid the Silent programs. It is because of her ability to communicate via sign language and spoken language that she is able to unify the Deaf and hearing worlds. Emma Faye is the primary fundraiser and Executive Director of Aid the Silent and as a mission staff member for Deaf Young Life.<\/p>\n
