Her earlier career in social work included playing an instrumental role in getting American Sign Language re-established in schools after its use had been illegal for decades, as well as a stint as Charles Manson’s therapist while he was incarcerated - something she recalls as being an easy job, compared to her advocacy work for the Deaf community.

This story is part of "1 in 6 by 2030," a collaborative project spearheaded by Sara Terry, Ed Kashi, and Ilvy Njiokiktjien. By 2030, 1 in 6 people will be above the age of 60. In the years leading up to that moment, participating photographers are producing stories with a different topic each year. For 2024, the essays are looking at people who are past the retirement age, showing what their lives are like, whether or not they have continued working.
