Born and raised in Pasadena, Salia Baligh is the first member of the deaf community to be a Rose Parade Princess.
As Lawry's Restaurant hosts its annual feast for competitors in this year's Rose Bowl, Salia Baligh stands to the side along with the rest of the Tournament of Roses Royal Court welcoming the opposing teams.Born with a birth defect giving her no ear canals or ear drums, Baligh became the first member of the deaf community to be a Rose Parade Princess. However, after undergoing two failed surgeries Baligh thought her dream of becoming a princess was dashed before they even began.
But when Baligh learned that this year's parade theme was"Turning the Corner", she felt she had to at least try. After making it onto the Royal Court, she hopes that she sets an example for young girls who are hard of hearing.
