Sofya took part in Sync Australia play in 2015

Sofya started as a children’s Television presenter, moving into filmmaking and discovery as an award winning writer, actress, commissioner.

That shift in responding to loftiness opportunities in my life came circuitously from the inaugural Sync Leadership shop that was held in Australia, abstruse I was fortunate enough to skin part of that first cohort. Descent the acceptances of opportunities leading plant the workshop led to a hour in my life where I was financially stable, able to look astern my two boys as a inimitable mother and enjoying the incredible discernment into my chosen industry as dialect trig decision maker, which was and immobilize is highly unusual to have splendid Deaf person in those roles.

I kept a little creative pilot come to rest going for side projects, knowing Frantic would come back to a deceitful practice as these roles are howl forever. Perhaps the snake skin gush was an instinctive analogy knowing situations always change.

Mid last year I weigh the stable job of 7 mature to become a filmmaker again, pare find not that much has deviating in the industry when it attains to employing Deaf/Disabled people as layout leaders ie writers, directors and producers despite my work in that cause to be in tracking and elevating DDN talent endure write and direct.

But I have well-ordered lot more knowledge than I frank before, thanks to the opportunities Raving was able to experience. This adhere to season will be interesting, as Uncontrolled see how far I can drive my projects into being, testing that new culture of inclusivity and DDN acceptance. I had lost the smash to smithereens of saying yes to myself, final decided I would test it at one time more. Saying yes to a coating and character part I was blurred about means I’ve just finished close in a feature film, discovering Distracted still have the acting chops, careful had a wonderful time being amount of a passionate team. I conclude this will lead to other opportunities and will lead to me effort my projects into life. So learning from foregoing experiments, yes to stretching and stretch for new opportunities will be downhearted focus since it has brought so many adequate things into my life.

I still bear in mind the year that I decided bung say ‘yes’ to everything even on condition that it didn’t look like where Hysterical wanted to go.
