MELISSA ELMIRA YINGST BIO:
All communities have hidden narratives, and Melissa Elmira Yingst is all about
finding and bringing awareness to them, especially when they celebrate women
and muxeristas.
As a child in Southern California, she sought for deep connections with other
people. As she grew, she realized she wanted to do something more. She ventured off
to Gallaudet University to earn her Bachelor’s in Psychology, and to Arizona State
University for her Master’s in Social Work. Since then, she held different positions as
a social worker and school counselor in New York City and Phoenix. She currently
teaches at CSUN and works at Convo as an Outreach Strategist. She is a co-anchor
for Tru Biz under the D-PAN umbrella. She recently completed her terms as a board
member for Council de Manos and Deaf Women United, where she worked on numerous
projects to dismantle white supremacy practices. She also is the co-founder of Alma
de Muxeristas, an organization for muxeristas who are Deaf, Deaf Blind, Deaf
Disabled, Late Deafened, or Hard of Hearing.
