D\u00edt was Mia le Roux se boodskap toe sy Saterdagaand op \u2019n glansryke geleentheid by Times Square, Pretoria, geskiedenis gemaak en as die eerste gehoorgestremde Mej. Suid-Afrika gekroon is. <\/p>\n
Mia, \u2019n 28-jarige model en bemar\u00adkings\u00adbestuurder, is in Sasolburg gebore en het in Oudtshoorn grootgeword. Sy beskryf haarself as veerkragtig, toegewyd, grasieus en vriendelik.<\/p>\n
Mia, by wie ernstige gehoorverlies op eenjarige ouderdom gediagnoseer is, gebruik haar platform om inklusiwiteit te bevorder \u2013 veral in landelike gebiede. Sy s\u00ea haar gemeenskap het agter haar gestaan om haar die geskenk van gehoor te gee, wat haar ge\u00efnspireer het om \u2019n positiewe impak te maak en grense oor te steek. <\/p>\n
\u201cDit het twee jaar van spraakterapie en voortdurende herhaling van woorde geneem voordat ek een dag na die lug gekyk het en my eerste vier woorde ges\u00ea het: \u2018Kyk daar, wit wolke\u2019,\u201d het Mia in haar aanvaardingsrede ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n
In die werklikheids-TV-program Crown Chasers<\/span> het sy ges\u00ea: \u201cEk is doof, met \u2019n kogle\u00eare inplanting \u2013 dit is my superkrag. Wanneer daar enige negatiwiteit is, skakel ek dit af. Die werklike rede waarom ek hier is, is om aan almal wat ooit anders gevoel het \u2013 veral in Suid-Afrika \u2013 te wys as jy selfversekerd staan en in jouself glo, sal ander ook. Dit is hoe jy \u2019n plek vir jouself in hierdie w\u00eareld skep.\u201d<\/p>\n Mia wil haar platform gebruik om ander te inspireer en praktiese veranderings te bevorder \u2013 veral in landelike gebiede. Sy wil \u2019n ruimte skep waar mense meer ingesluit voel en gehoorgestremdes ander deur middel van werksessies kan opvoed oor hoe hulle kan help. \u201cEk wil ook die gemeenskap \u2013 veral landelike gebiede \u2013 bereik en hulle die gereedskap gee om hul volle potensiaal te bereik. Ek glo ons kan nie hierdie land op \u2019n nasionale vlak help as ons nie op plaaslike vlak begin nie,\u201d het sy ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n Mia het ges\u00ea dit voel vir haar asof sy haar hele lewe lank voorberei het om hierdie rol te vervul. \u201cVandag is dit my beurt om jou gemeenskap te wees; om \u2019n stem te wees vir diegene wat \u2013 soos ek \u2013 die uitdagings van anders wees en uitgesluit voel ervaar het. Ek is hier om as jou verteenwoordiger te dien; om die sake wat vir Suid-Afrikaners saak maak, te bevorder en \u2019n ruimte te skep waar almal op hul unieke, pragtige manier kan skyn.\u201d<\/p>\n \n Vyf interessante feite oor Mia:<\/i> Mia se oorwinning is \u2019n inspirasie vir die Dowe gemeenskap en \u2019n bewys van haar veerkragtigheid en toewyding om grense oor te steek en inklusiwiteit te bevorder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Drome kan bewaarheid word ten spyte van enige uitdagings wat jou in die gesig kan
