The latest interview with our guest – Tiffany Storrs
Tiffany Storrs is an actress, bestselling author, and award-winning disability advocate whose life and work are rooted in one powerful idea: what changes us does not have to diminish us.
After suddenly losing her hearing following the births of her children, Tiffany found herself navigating an entirely new world—one that would ultimately reshape not only how she communicates, but how she tells stories. Today, she is a deaf, trilingual performer fluent in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language who navigates the world with Cochlear implants and a perspective uniquely her own.
As an actress, Tiffany brings a rare combination of emotional depth, lived experience, warmth, and resilience to the screen. Her credits include Ghost of the Game, Turning Point, RYDE, Caveat Emptor, When Harriet Met Sally, United Dates of America, and Buried in the Backyard. In 2025, she was selected to perform at the Sundance Institute Directors Lab.
Tiffany is also the author of the Amazon bestselling memoir Adaptability: A True Story About Transforming Pain Into Purpose, chronicling a journey through infertility, motherhood, profound hearing loss, Cochlear implantation, and an unexpected cardiac crisis that ultimately led to receiving a pacemaker. What began as a story of survival became something much bigger: a philosophy of moving forward when life refuses to follow the script.
Her advocacy for hearing health and hidden disabilities has earned national recognition, including being named a HearStrong Champion. Through acting, speaking, writing, and advocacy, Tiffany challenges assumptions about what disability looks and sounds like—and expands the possibilities of who gets to be seen and heard.
She doesn’t simply tell stories about adaptability.
She lives it.
