Connie encourages Kelly to embrace her new reality stating via ASL that it's “a damn superpower," and not a disability. Article continues below advertisement "I never knew how important it was for others to see representation through myself and Lauren,” Angel explained to the outlet. “It's a beautiful feeling to know that my story could help someone even in the slightest way.”  Angel revealed that the AMC writers are working with the actor to accurately portray people in the deaf/HoH (Hard of Hearing) community.
