Miss SA Mia Le Roux Shares A Beautiful Throwback Letter Her Mom Wrote About Her Hearing At 4 Years. One thing abut parent with special needs kids, they know what’s best for them child and know what their kids can achieve. Hence why, no matter what, they never give up on them.
Mia Le Roux‘s parents understand this very well. Their daughter was diagnosed with profound hearing loss, at the age of one. As result she was fitted with a cochlear implant to aid her hearing. This did not stop Mia from fetching her dreams nonetheless. She is the current reigning Miss South Africa, and will be the first deaf woman to compete in Miss Universe.
When Mia got crowned Miss SA 2024, she said her advocacy would be inclusivity and to create a sense of belonging for everyone. After her crowning she attended an event at Transoranjee School for the Deaf. This was to highlight the importance of inclusivity for Deaf Awareness month.
Mia has just shared a cool throwback about her hearing from back in the day. It’s a letter that was written by her mom, who was impressed by her improvement. On the day Mia didn’t want to go to school, and she told her mom, “I don’t want to go to school.” Her mom was happy that Mia said seven words, in her first sentence. She also spoke three sentences in a row. In the letter she went on about Mia’s progress and how the family was supportive.
Mia recently found the letter, and she shared it on social media.
“A few days ago my mother was digging in the archives and found this letter she wrote when I was 4 years old. Little did we know then how our lives would pan out. We were shrouded in uncertainty but eventually it transformed into hope. This is a special thanks to my family for their countless hours of devotion and love to help me become the woman I am today. With hard work and consistency we will get further than we could have imagined 💕
The original letter is in Afrikaans, so I added an English version of the letter. 🤟
P.S. I was diagnosed at the 14 months in 1996, “1994” was a typing error. ❤️,” Mia said.
