Anna Kain Wyatt

25-year-old Anna is deeply committed to questions about accessibility. She is involved in non-profit organizations and believes things can be changed for the better. Until recently Anna was chairperson for the national organization for children and young people who are hard of hearing. To Anna, staying involved is necessary, fun and social at the same time.

Anna has a hearing impairment which was discovered when she was three. For public events such as lectures or cultural events, she is dependent on the availability of hearing loops or a sign-language interpreter, which is not always made available.

Anna has lived in a housing collective for three years. She has a degree in macroeconomics and recently picked up roller derby. It’s the first time she has been involved in a sport and admits that it gets quite rough at times. But it’s a great way to really take time off.
