"I don't think disability should be hidden. It's notabout the style - it's about purpose and amplifying hidden voices."
Gargi Agrawalla, who was born profoundly deaf, wants toempower other deaf young people after winning an international competition todesign jewellery for use with cochlear implants and hearing aids.
It is great to see people owing their impairments and notbeen shy to promote them.
