Alexa Paulay-Simmons is well-known from the series Deaf U. Simmons is a part of the elite group of students at the college. The show is created by Nyle DiMarco who is an actor, model and advocate for the deaf community.

He said,

“I really want people to understand that people with disabilities are part of the conversation about diversity. Often we’re seen as second-class citizens and there are so many of us, over one billion of us—we’re everywhere.”

She is said to have her family also deaf and has attended schools that cater to the community. In the first episode of the show, she was dating Braxton and she had been with Daequan Taylor. The show features the lives of a few deaf college students who attended Gallaudet University.

She became pregnant and chose to abort the fetus in the first episode. Alexa had a conversation with Daequan where she brought up how it seemed as though he made her pregnant on purpose because of a lack of family in his own life.

After being angry with him she compared him with her father as the two had faced similar challenges in life, and her parent, too, was emotionally distant while growing up.

THE LONG AWAITED SHOW IS FINALLY OUT!! I’m soooo honored to be a part of something ground breaking. This show is going to make you laugh, cry, feel a little less alone. I hope this show is going to be a reality check for a lot of people. The perception of being deaf is warped, as if we needed to be saved. NO. We eat, sleep & shit the same way as everyone else. So in turn, I hope this show will generate more career opportunities for the deaf, an improved society, especially in terms of accessibility for deaf folxs.
