Deaf Drag Queen On Belgium's Got Talent

Lola McQueen is the first Deaf drag queen in the world with a Golden buzzer on Belgium's Got Talent 2019.

BRUSSELS -- Deaf drag queen Lola McQueen 31, audition for Belgium’s Got Talent. Lola McQueen slays lip sync leaves audiences and judges speechless.

Lola McQueen blew the judges of Belgium's Got Talent away when he performed ‘A Million Dreams’ by P!nk. He received a golden buzzer after one of the judges was moved to tears by his performance.

Lola McQueen was born Deaf, but that did not hold his back from chasing his dreams. “Being Deaf is an enrichment for me, I would not have it any other way. It maybe sounds weird, but I can say this having been through a lot in my life. I have been bullied and people always told me I couldn’t perform. I have been able to fulfil all my dreams, because I believe people shouldn’t decide what I can do. I am the one who decides that,” McQueen told the judges.

This is the second act performed by Lola McQueen on Belgium's Got Talent.

He got an Golden buzzer from the viewers at home and from judge Stan Van Samang. Thank you everyone for support and believe in Lola McQueen for his successfully on Belgium's Got Talent.

Although being Deaf, McQueen is able to lip sync by feeling the vibrations of the music. His performance left the judges speechless. “This was amazing. I think it was incredible,” judge Stan Van Samang told McQueen.

You can see his stunning performance, with an amazing dress reveal here.

“After I lost my hearing, I gave up,” she said. “But I want to do more with my life than just give up.” She explained that after a period of not performing, she learned how to sing again by using tools such as “visual tuners”, and added that she performs without wearing shoes so she can feel a song’s beat through floor vibrations.

Deaf Dancer: Oh Wonder - Lose It

Deaf Dancer: Oh Wonder, Lose It - The Shaheem’s Story.

Feeling the power of music is just as important as hearing it. What moved you most about Shaheem’s story? Shaheem Sanchez lost his hearing at the age of four. He taught himself to dance by feeling the vibrations of the music. Vibrations from noise in the outside world confuse his perception of the music. This is his process to show that Deaf people can do anything, because anything is possible.

"Deaf Dancer": Behind The Scenes With Shaheem Sanchez.

Who is Shaheem? Following in his father’s footsteps, Shaheem Sanchez, aka DeafDancerShaheem, started dancing at age 11, despite losing his hearing at age four. Though his father passed before he was born, his family told him stories about his father’s dance skills and he thought, why not give dance a shot? Dance has become a very important part of his life.

He loves to feel the music, go with the flow, and feel the peace that comes from dance. By feeling the beat and reading the body language of his collaborators, Shaheem is able to connect to the music and express himself. It is important to him to show that Deaf people can do anything, because anything is possible. Fun Fact: Shaheem passed down his love of dance to his little brother Kida The Great.

Deaf Taiwanese Dancer Proves Naysayers Wrong

Deaf Taiwanese dancer Lin Ching Lan proves naysayers wrong - SK-II #changedestiny stories.

TAIPEI -- Lin Ching Lan is founder of Taiwan’s first troupe for Deaf dancers. Her story is beautiful. She was born with a hearing impairment, but she has not let that control her life. Her goal was to be a dancer…she just wanted to dance!

Schools and Teachers told her she would never dance because she couldn’t hear the music but…she can feel the music. We can use her as an example for when people tell us we can't do something…you can prove them wrong, if you work at it!

In the 1970s, SK2 scientists began a fervent quest to uncover a skincare ingredient that would make beautiful skin a reality for every woman.

Across land and sea, they sought for the answer. Despite researching a myriad of possibilities, the secret they were looking for long eluded them.

It was only by happenstance that the scientists eventually found themselves in a simple sake brewery where they chanced upon the soft and youthful hands of aged sake brewers. The breath-taking sight was the inspiration of the skincare miracle they would eventually uncover – a destiny of beauty was finally within reach. Source
