I Am Speaking is a podcast focused on the lives of “othered” Americans. The goal of this podcast is to hear, share, and amplify the voices of Americans--both citizens and noncitizens-who have felt like outsiders in their homes. Hosted by first-generation Indian-American sisters, I Am Speaking highlights the unique experiences of people who feel or have been marginalized by the current US cultural hegemony in their communities.

What a freaking fun and interesting conversation.
Marijo has been making the world more accessible, one conservation at a time. For over 30 years, she’s been signing her way, being of service to the deaf and hard of hearing community.
Marijo Fiacchino’s resume is lengthy and her credibility is solid - she has her Certification of Interpretation (CI) and Certification of Transliteration (CT), she is RID (Registry of Interpretation for th Deaf) Certified. She has a Masters Level license in Illinois, and is qualified as an Illinois Master Mentor. So, we know she’s capable, she’s educated, and she’s driven.
But until you speak with her, or shall we say, let her speak, you wouldn’t know how passionate she is for this work that she loves, how much compassion she is for her deaf and hearing clients, and how much she views her life’s work as service to a marginalized community.
The world needs more people like Marijo. And she’s hilarious, to boot.
