Hello! My name is Arushi Yagnik and I am the Founder and Executive Director of The Resonance. I created this nonprofit to raise awareness for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals through my art, which has been a deep-rooted interest of mine since I was 3 years old. My passion for advocacy stems from my grandmother’s experiences with hearing loss. Being able to see the challenges she faced her entire life inspired me to create The Resonance and expand opportunities for the community. As Founder and Executive Director, I look forward to using my art to further empower and create meaningful opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals.
