Review

Mandy Harvey’s journey is a reaffirmation of what I told reporters after I won my Academy Award, “Silence is the last thing the world will ever hear from me.” Mandy will never let deafness silence her, and she has aptly proven that deaf people can do ANYTHING. (Marlee Matlin, Academy Award® Winner)

Mandy Harvey represents, in the truest sense, a No Barriers life. Her story is a powerful testament to resilience in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenge. She has harnessed her challenges and transformed them into a stunningly beautiful gift to the world. Her discoveries and insights can become ours; and with her, we’ll be forever changed. (Erik Weihenmayer - Blind adventurer, author and speaker)
