In the early 2005, she was told about the Miss Deaf World pageant, which was held in Prague, the Czech Republic. The Miss Deaf USA 2005 winner was the first USA participant in this competition. As MDU’s CEO, Leek attended the event and met pageant directors from other countries, who expressed their will to initiate a similar pageant in the US as well as in other countries.[6] In the spring of 2009, Deaf Nation,[7] granted Miss Deaf International (MDI) a permission to host its international event in conjunction with the Deaf World Expo in July 2010.[6] On July 31, 2010, Julie Abbou from France won Miss Deaf International 2010 in Las Vegas.[8] On June 18, 2012, Abbou won again the second vice Miss Ile de France 2012.[9]From the experience in 2010, Miss Deaf International added three continental pageants: Miss Deaf Europe, Miss Deaf South America, and Miss Deaf Asia.[6] MDI international coordinator, Kasia Galasiewicz,[10] recruited Deaf ladies from all over the world to participate in Orlando, Florida in July 2011. During the meeting in Orlando, MDI agreed to include a Mister Deaf International pageant, and its name was changed into Miss & Mister Deaf International Inc. In July 2012, MMDI 2012 was held in Ankara, Turkey, and the Ankara Deaf Club volunteers made the pageant possible.[6]The contestants from the world advanced their personal, educational, career, and humanitarian goals, as well as the lives and goals of others.[6] Following this policy, Mister Deaf Spain 2012 was disqualified of his title “Mister Deaf Europe 2012”, after being disrespectful to the MMDI staff as well as displaying unacceptable sexual behavior.[11] Miss Deaf Germany 2012 was disqualified of her title “Miss Deaf Congeniality 2012”, after she had broken the arranged expectations of MMDI.[12]Titleholders[edit]Date and PlaceMiss Deaf InternationalMister Deaf InternationalMiss Deaf Queen InternationalMrs Deaf InternationalJuly 13, 2019Saint Petersburg,RussiaKemmonye Mamatsits[13][14]\u00a0BotswanaAjith Kumar[15]\u00a0IndiaNot awardedNot awardedJuly 14, 2018Taipei, TaiwanNatalia Colombo[16][17]\u00a0ItalyMergim Noshaj[16][18]\u00a0KosovoSomporn Kaewkeod[16]\u00a0ThailandBussara Sangkrut Okada[16]\u00a0ThailandJuly 15, 2017Paris, FranceC\u00e9line Cornia[19]\u00a0BelgiumMateusz Borowski[20]\u00a0PolandNot awardedNot awardedJuly 2016Las Vegas,United StatesIwona Cichosz[21][22]\u00a0PolandCalvin Vogefu Musalia[23]\u00a0KenyaSomsakul Thongfaung\u00a0ThailandAugust 5, 2014London,United KingdomYeJin Kim[24][25]\u00a0South KoreaAarron Loggins[26]\u00a0United StatesNot awardedJuly 31, 2013Sofia, BulgariaLa\u00eds Gon\u00e7alves\u00a0BrazilRafael Grombelka\u00a0GermanyJuly 27, 2012Ankara, TurkeyNatalia Ryabova[27]\u00a0BelarusCevat \u015eim\u015fek\u00a0TurkeyJuly 16, 2011Orlando, FloridaCassandra Whyte[28][29]\u00a0JamaicaNot awardedJuly 31, 2010Las Vegas,United StatesJulie Abbou[8]\u00a0FranceSee also[edit]References[edit]^ “Miss Deaf International in Las Vegas, Nevada”, Nonprofitfacts.com\/NV\/Miss-Deaf-International, Retrieved September 9, 2019.^ “Bonita Ann Leek”.
