Janine Roebuck
When aspiring opera singer Janine Roebuck was told at the age of eighteen that she was going deaf, many people told her she would have to give up her dreams. Instead she decided to keep her disability a secret. She went on to become successful in both opera and musical theatre. She talks to Ritula about how she managed to keep her disability a secret for over thirty years and what made her finally decide to go public.
