Dejana Backo’s journey began with questions about her unique condition as a child, but as she grew older, she embraced her body and its abilities. Despite being born without upper limbs, she has excelled as an artist and athlete, recently reaching new heights as a wife and mother.

Born in Novi Sad on December 9, 1994, Dejana’s early curiosity about her physical differences turned into a resilient determination to pursue her passions. She joined the Society of Mouth and Foot Painters at the age of nine, fostering her artistic talents. After completing her studies at the School of Art and Design and the Academy of Fine Arts in Novi Sad, she exhibited her work throughout the Balkans.

Known as the “girl with wings,” Dejana has become a symbol of empowerment in Serbia. Despite her physical challenges, she has enjoyed remarkable success in sport, becoming the world champion in para-taekwondo in 2019, a groundbreaking achievement for Serbia. In February 2023, Dejana celebrated another milestone by welcoming her first child.

Her decision to prioritize this new chapter meant missing the 2024 Paralympic Games, but she remains committed to sharing her message of resilience on social media.

Although art remains her passion, Dejana’s determination in sports led her to pursue para-taekwondo in 2016, winning awards along the way. She believes in overcoming obstacles by maintaining a positive self-image and focusing on her own worth.

Dejana acknowledges the impact of motherhood on her sporting career but embraces the challenge with determination. She adapts to caring for her daughter with her legs, embracing the joys and responsibilities of motherhood alongside her husband.

Their recent wedding marked a celebration of unconditional love and boundless commitment, with Dejana sharing moments from their family journey on social media.

Her story serves as an inspiring example of resilience and success despite adversity, showcasing the power of determination and love.
