Mia Le Roux talks about dating as a deaf person
Mia Le Roux is shedding more light on finding love in the deaf community. The newly crowned Miss South Africa clarified that she will focus on inclusivity during her reign.
During an interview with Zanele Potelwa, Nick Archibald, and the team on 5FM’s 5Drive, Mia addressed people's assumptions about dating within the deaf community. She said some people will dump you the moment they find out the person you are dating has a hearing impairment, but she also said some people are understanding.
"A lot of people, when they find out someone is deaf, automatically shut you off as an option, and they do not try to look at you for how beautiful, smart, educated or capable you are. It's almost like you are not a person like you are different, you are a bit alien, so I'm gonna ignore and avoid you.
She added:
"But then there are great people out there who, even if they do not know anything about someone like me, will still look at me and say I see something that is worthy and capable in her. And those are the people we should cherish."
