Lauren Ridloff and The Language of Courage

Lauren Ridloff could tell you the basics about herself; that she was born in Chicago to hearing parents and now has two children of her own; that she is known for her television role on The Walking Dead and portrayal of Makkari in the film The Eternals and her TONY nominated role of Sarah in Children of a Lesser God on Broadway.

She would rather tell you how she fights.

How she fights as a deaf, Black, and Latina woman. She shares her life story by sharing the big ideas of her journey: taking risks and making tons of mistakes, learning how to communicate, finding her community, and ultimately finding the language of courage.
