Albania TV Show Interview With Deaf Model

Rudina: Maria Taragjini represented Albania in Miss & Mister Deaf 2019.

TIRANA, Albania -- A beautiful and gorgeous 21-year-old Maria Taragjini is a Deaf woman with different abilities who does not speak or listen. But that has not stopped her from pursuing her dream. Maria represented Albania in the Miss and Mister Deaf 2019 competition that took place in Italy, ranking 5th.

Maria was invited today on the show "Rudina" on TV Klan to tell us more about this beautiful experience. Accompanied by her friend Loretta, who helps us communicate in sign language, Maria is currently a sophomore at the University of the Arts in the Department of Sculpture and Painting.

She has been living away from her family since coming to Tirana at the age of five to study at the school for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students. While her family still lives in Kodovjat village of Gramsh.

Representing Albania was a dream come true and ranking in fifth place was a great achievement, even though it says competition was strong.

“I competed with 5 outfits; in a red dress, in a black dress, in something fashionable, in bathing suits and in a red dress. The race was strong, lots of beautiful girls, lots of competition. I did not find it difficult, I felt safe after being helped by people in the field. Fulfilled the dream I had when I was little, I learned how to walk in the backyard, to be beautiful. Fulfilling the dream is something very big."

Marias says she likes to change her appearance often. “I like myself more blonde than brunettes. I love the change of appearance. My hair was blue. I really want to explore with myself."

Prejudice is another aspect Marian has often associated with throughout her life. In this beauty contest, messages were given that these young people would not be seen with a different eye. And this is what Mary seeks to say. Maria's message is, "Don't prejudge, but help, we're like you."

Ukrainian Triumphs At Miss Deaf World 2015

WATCH: Natalia Belan, 18, of Melitopol, Ukraine is the winner of the 2015 Miss Deaf World competition.

PRAGUE, Czech -- Natalia Belan is one special woman. It’s not just that the 18-year-old is a beauty, and the winner of a Miss World beauty contest held in Prague last month. It’s that she also happens to be Deaf.

The native of Melitopol in Zaporizhzhya Oblast won the Miss Deaf World competition in the Czech capital on July 19, fending off close competitors from Belarus and Vietnam. The competition this year was a special one as well – the jubilee 15th year of the event, which was first held in 2001.

“I had an excellent impression of the competition – everyone performed at the highest level,” Belan told the Kyiv Post.

This isn’t the first time the Ukrainian woman has been a winner: She studied at the Kamenka boarding school for Deaf children, which is famous at home and abroad for its dance group, which has won numerous competitions. Belan herself is a keen dancer, and is especially fond of oriental styles of dance.

On the way to her victory in Prague, Belan first won the Ukrainian Society of the Deaf UTOG’s regional beauty contest in Zaporizhzhya, and then went on to win the national competition Miss UTOG 2015. After that, she went on to represent Ukraine at the world and European finals of the competition, in which Ukraine has traditionally done well, Belan said.

In fact, Ukraine has pretty much dominated the event over the past 15 years, taking the top spot in the founding year 2001, then again in 2003, 2009, and now in 2015. Ukraine also came second in 2006, and took third in 2002, 2004, 2007, and 2012. Ukraine also won Miss Deaf Europe in 2012 – a competition that has been held since 2009.... Read The Full Story.
