You might Jillian Deaton from TikTok, where she recently went viral for her performance interpreting American Sign Language during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. She's known as Jillian Valentine on the social media platform; Valentine is her alter ego (á la Beyoncé's Sasha Fierce), which allows her to create a more outgoing, onstage persona. "While Jillian Deaton is sensitive and wants so badly to please everyone, Jill Valentine is confident and tough. I like that I can be both," she says.
Originally from Mesa, Az, the 30-year-old is now based in New York City. She's been interpreting Asl professionally since 2014, and got her interpreting education at Phoenix College in Phoenix, Az. After her Eras Tour performance went viral, Deaton reflected on her career as an Asl interpreter, the best moments from Swift's performance in Seattle, and more. Read it all, in her own words, below.
