Julian S Moiwai Age
Born in 1990, Julian S Moiwai turned 32 years old in 2022.
Julian S Moiwai Family
Julian S Moiwai was born to immigrant parents from Germany and Sierra Leone. So, a “Proud Peace Corps Baby” is what Julian calls himself.
His father Braima Moiwai, born and raised in Sierra Leone, as per his LinkedIn, is independent arts and crafts professional in Durham, North Carolina. His diverse creative work as an artist-educator and interactive performer is said to have drawn on the rich cultural traditions woven throughout everyday village life. Also, back in the day, he studied history and geography at Fourah Bay College, University of Sierra Leone, and taught for five years before immigrating to the US in 1986.
While Stella Kirkendale, Julian’s mom, is a global health educator, trainer, and advocate working around Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Area. She is said to have spent over 30 years in global and U.S. public health program management, training, advocacy, and community capacity strengthening. A Masters in Public Health graduate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, she has also been a volunteer sign language interpreter at North Carolina NAACP for the past decade.
About how these interracial folks met, Braima was a teacher in a local school, and Stella was an “Aggie” extension agent who worked with subsistence farmers. After meeting in Sierra Leone, they had gotten married and eventually settled in Durham, North Carolina, where Julian was born.
At 10 months old, Julian got extremely sick with H-flu spinal meningitis and lost his hearing. Neither of Julian’s parents knew sign language, and so it was pretty challenging for them. They immediately took up classes at the local community college and also enrolled him in a residential school for the deaf for his first couple of years, and then Julian went to mainstream schools in his hometown.
From Julian’s perspective, he grew up trying to fit in. He recalls today how he was half black and half white, too light-skinned for the black group and too dark-skinned for the white group.
Julian S Moiwai Job
Julian S Moiwai is reportedly a videographer/photographer, model, and activist. But, his LinkedIn profile has different things to say about him. First of all, it introduces him as a statewide outreach services studio manager at Texas School for the Deaf. He has been on this job full-time since September 2021. And right before this, he worked in different positions from a social media coordinator to a media production manager at ZVRS, for almost a decade.
So, like that, Julian comes with 10+ years of experience in marketing and video production, a true digital tech nerd.
Speaking of his educational background, he has a B.S. in Advertising and Public Relations from the Rochester Institute of Technology.
If you also need to know, Julian was said to earn $73,000 as his salary as per The Texas Tribune‘s report.
As for his alleged partner, she has appeared on hit shows like Switched at Birth and Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist as well as notable films like 2018’s Soul to Keep and 2019’s Multiverse, never letting her inability of hearing stop her.
The Louisville native began losing her hearing as a baby, and eventually became deaf when she was 3. In 2013, she graduated from Gallaudet University. Then, she made her Broadway debut in a 2015 Spring Awakening revival produced by Deaf West Theatre.
Not to miss, like Sandra, Julian also proudly goes around as a deaf first-generation American.
