Cecilia S. Grugan

Cecilia (C3) Grugan is a Deaf parent to a hearing child, who is referred to as a Child of Deaf Adults (CODA). Cecilia lives in the suburbs of Washington, DC, with their partner, who is also Deaf, and firstborn. As a family, they solely use American Sign Language (ASL). With ASL, Grugan’s family thrives on access and ease of communication with one another. When not writing during the darkest hour, Cecilia can be found jogging with a stroller around town, exploring new local joints with their partner, or jet-setting across the country in pursuit of new adventures with their firstborn.
