We’re so excited and grateful to share that Deaf Rave has been awarded funding from Youth Music’s Shift the Scene Fund!

This means we’ll be launching a brand new Deaf-led mentorship programme creating real pathways for the next generation of Deaf creatives to grow, connect and lead.

A huge thank you to for believing in this vision, and to our amazing partners who will be part of this journey: .uk Area (Newcastle) , , (Leeds) and (Newham).

We can’t wait to get started.... this is just the beginning 😁

This week has been a tough one. It has been exactly 1 year anniversary of my mother’s death. We all love our dear mothers, no matter how hard it is. On behalf of my brothers and sisters, I did what I need to do and it makes me feel better to pray for her spirits. ❤️

The work I have done in half of my lifetime and the good causes I have done in life, my mother knew the MBE🎖️would come. She would simply make jokes about it. However she didn’t get to see it, which was a pity.

I stand tall and held my chin high, as this achievement is dedicated for her 🥹

In Vietnamese and Asian cultures, we don’t forget the dead, so we pray for them every year. They are remembered forever!That is my duty 🙏🏼📿

May her spirits reunite with my grandmother 😍🫶🏼

Love you mum ❤️
