Our first fashion editorial shoot for the @stylistmagazine . We are beyond excited and emotional because that’s a HUGE achievement. Breaking down barriers, the more exposure and the more people from the deaf community see people like them in the mainstream the more they believe they can achieve whatever they what from life.
On a personal level, we have always loved fashion, we went to the London College of Fashion, managed to create our own business after many rejections from major fashion brands and doing an editorial photoshoot is right at the top of our ‘bucket list’. So, yes, this is so exciting for us and thank you @lisasmosarski + @stylistmagazine team for having us.
@matchstickgroup you rock!

Right then, we thought it was about time to finally share the bloopers from our interview with Michael B. Jordan a few years back. They were proper funny! Hermon was pretty nervous about how he'd react, so she's just glad he was so cool and got her jokes. Did you see Heroda hit her sister so hard? Haha! It's one of the best interviews with him so far. 👏🏾 #michaelbjordan
One of the highlights of the trip to Marrakech.
Funny moment…we were looking for a taxi and couldn't find one, so a local guy offered to give us a lift. Heroda immediately declined with “absolutely no!” So our friends encouraged her to go, which made Heroda reconsider. She asked, “It’s only for 3 people, so where is everyone going to sit?” The driver even offered her his own seat (the chair) She refused but we ended up taking her with us anyway…she's so fussy! 😂
Meet Hermon and Heroda from @being__her !
Steph, the UK General Manager of Convo, asks twins and deaf fashion icons about how they’ve built their presence, grown their platform, and shaped their path, their way.
This is just the start - stay tuned for more 💚
Recent snap ✨ Fab experience as judges and presenters! Really enjoyed hearing every story, so inspiring to see barriers being broken! “Creating equal futures with disabled people” ♥️
Outfit of the Day in BSL and yes we finally used the mic, so you can hear every little sound that comes with it. ASMR era unlocked accidentally and you’re welcome 😂 #BritishSignLanguage #FashionInspo #ASMR #OutfitOfTheDay #fyp
ad This is what our commute looks like as a deaf person daily. For real we spend a lot of our journey staring at the @transportforlondon info boards like A LOT. Since we can’t hear the announcements, those screens, the TfL Go app, TfL accessibility features, and Live Caption are so helpful and accessible.
We have tips for everyone. If a deaf person approaches you. Face them when you speak.
Don’t cover your mouth and please be patient.
