Hyemi Jo (she/her): I come from South Korea and I am Deaf. I work as an artist, activist, and web designer in Berlin. I am engaged in political activities that enhance the visibility and strengthen the voices of the Deaf community. I find Berlin a very diverse city where, for example, BIPOC and Queer people from various backgrounds live together. I really enjoy the intersectionality that Berlin embodies. ⓒ photo: songgot
Mein Name ist My-Le. I am deaf, was born in Münster and grew up in Berlin. My parents are from Vietnam. As a passionate coffee drinker and avid traveler, I have always been interested in the diversity of cultures and food cultures in our world.
My name is LeDan, I was born in China and adopted at the age of three by a loving family from the Netherlands. As a little girl, my parents inspired me with their travel stories. This developed my passion for traveling and backpacking over the years. I love exploring the world and experiencing challenges and adventures. I recently moved to Berlin in early January for the above reason. Since the 2021 session Racism in Budapest, I have started to embrace my Asian roots.
Mimi @mimicutiii: My name is Binh Minh, but many people just call me Mimi because it's easier than my heavy name. I am 22 years old and belong to the deaf community myself. I'm originally from Germany, but my parents are from Vietnam. My whole family is hearing. I am currently completing training as a warehouse logistics specialist. I love taking photos and editing videos.
