Kids these days are taking the lemons life has thrown at them and making lucrative lemonade.
Hearing impaired, hip hop lover Matt Maxey decided to turn his disability into a business. He founded the DEAFinitely Dope organization which aims to “change the way you experience hip-hop and R&B through sign language.” And one of his most famous clients is Mr. Philanthropy himself, Chance The Rapper.
Since going on tour with Chance and other artists like DRAM, Matt has seen much success as an ASL performer.
