Our Vision
We have a vision for a society in which all Deaf, Deaf Blind and late Deafness people can fully participate.
The term deaf refers to adults and children who could be profoundly deaf, deafened, hard of hearing, DeafBlind or experiencing tinnitus.
Our Mission
Our mission is to improve the social inclusion and well-being of deaf people across the world.
This is achieved by:
- Enabling better communications between deaf and hearing people.
- Expressing the voice of deaf people to local decision makers.
- Offering specialised support services tailored to the needs of deaf people.
- Providing a community space which is culturally accessible to deaf people.
Our Values
Our Values underpin all we do and how we behave as an organisation and as individuals.
- We believe deafness should not limit or determine opportunity; all people should be able to contribute and participate equally in their community.
- We strive to challenge society to be more inclusive of deaf people and enable deaf people to participate in a full and equal manner.
- We believe that deaf people are best placed to decide what help and support they require and how society can best adapt to their needs.
- We focus on ability not disability and believe all people are resourceful and have the potential to grow.
- We support and encourage deaf role models and leaders and equip deaf people to play a full role in society.
- We believe more can be achieved by working together and actively seek to work in partnership.
- We value our organization, they support each other and work together to solve problems and reach our overall goals.
- We monitor all aspects of the work we do and the money we spend, we welcome and encourage questions from our guest, sponsors and donators

What is Deaf Culture ?
Deaf culture is a term that encompasses the views, values, beliefs, language (ASL), traditions and practices of members of the Deaf community. It also includes how they view Deafness – not as a difference or disability – and how they interact with members of the hearing world. Deaf culture is important because it helps to bridge the gap between Deaf and Hard of Hearing people and those who can hear. It also encourages mutual respect between both sides while promoting understanding and acceptance among all members of society. Deaf culture helps to empower individuals by giving them a sense of belonging and pride in their identity as a member of the Deaf community.
Barriers Deaf people face in a hearing-centric world.
From being unable to access information to facing discrimination and misunderstanding, members of the Deaf community have had to fight for their rights and recognition for years. The stigma surrounding Deafness can be traced back to how society views Deafness as an inability or disability, rather than a different way of communicating. Deaf people are often excluded from conversations, denied access to resources and misunderstood by members of the hearing community, and it’s this lack of understanding that can lead to feelings of isolation and frustration among members of the Deaf community. Lack of education about Deafness plays a huge part in the Deaf experience and Deaf Mystics aims to improve this. By sharing Deaf stories and giving Deaf people platforms to express and educate, Deaf and hearing people all work towards a better, more inclusive society.
Promoting diversity and inclusion
Promoting greater understanding and respect for Deaf people and their culture has contributed to building a more diverse and inclusive society. It has challenged traditional norms and stereotypes about Deafness and emphasized the importance of linguistic and cultural diversity. Deaf culture has encouraged greater accessibility and accommodation for Deaf individuals in public spaces and highlighted the need for inclusive education and employment opportunities. It has paved the way for greater access to education for Deaf students, leading to the development of bilingual education programs that incorporate both ASL and spoken English. Deaf culture has also influenced the way in which society thinks about language and the importance of linguistic diversity. It has challenged the notion that spoken language is superior to sign language and has highlighted the value of visual communication and expression.
Why we parade?
The inspiration and idea came from Joe Cain what was call “The people’s Parade.” to revive the spirits of the citizens of Mobile after the civil war. Deaf Mystics want to impact in the same way to create betterment in our community as a whole while celebrating Mardi Gras in the same language. Deaf Mystics believes that if we all work together, we can make a difference. Our future generation depend on us for a greater future just as those before us had done the same. We still have a long way to go but together We know we can get there.
