Jojo Savea is a Deaf Samoan woman, content creator, and social media services provider. She focuses on storytelling, culture, and authenticity in her work. Having moved frequently throughout her life, she learned to adapt while staying grounded in her identity. Our interview takes place on Zoom to accommodate her ASL interpreter and features an entertaining twist in the video version of our interview found here on YouTube. It was really fun to interview Savea because I have never had to use an interpreter before in my interviews and it gave me an opportunity to learn how Jojo and others that are deaf, manage in this complicated hearing world.
Savea has over a decade of experience in social media, having started in Australia during college. Savea's unique perspective, stemming from her experiences as a Deaf Samoan woman, informs her intentional and heartfelt approach to content creation. She is known for building her audience by being real and engaging with her community. She has also been involved in projects like "Sign It! American Sign Language Made Easy." Learn more about the deaf community and how “normal” Jojo’s life truly is - she is married to a hearing man, travels extensively, and never lets being deaf make life less meaningful.
