A Brave and Resonant Memoir

Reading Lips is the debut memoir by creator and deaf advocate Jackie G (@tismejackieg)—a candid, high?impact story of late diagnosis, lipreading, and redefining deaf identity while navigating love, loss, and belonging.

Bold, unfiltered, and deeply human. Jackie G invites readers into the real work of living with hearing loss: the exhaustion of lipreading, the sting of misconceptions, and the slow, beautiful building of identity, self?acceptance, and community in deaf culture.

Authority with heart. With 1.7M+ followers and viral lipreading storytelling, Jackie bridges education and empathy—showing that deafness is a spectrum and that deaf and hard of hearing lives are rich with friendship, joy, heartbreak, and triumph.

Inside, you’ll find:

Practical insight into lipreading’s hidden toll—and how to advocate for accessible communication

A clear, compassionate look at late?deafened identity, from mainstream education to community belonging

Hopeful, affirming stories that normalize deaf experiences and empower allies to do better
