Born Without Arms, Unbreakable in Soul: Dejana Backo’s Fire
Born without arms, Dejana Backo entered the world already a warrior.

At 9, she picked up a brush with her feet and turned “impossible” into breathtaking art   — exhibitions across 20 Balkan cities, a graduate of fine arts, her canvases screaming beauty and defiance.
Then came taekwondo. Relentless. Ferocious. In 2019 she claimed Serbia’s FIRST World Para Taekwondo title   — the whole nation held its breath as she proved limits are lies.
Dreams burned brighter: Paralympics called.
But in 2023, life gifted her the deepest victory — motherhood
She paused the mat, chose tiny hands over gold medals, yet her fire never dimmed.
Dejana teaches us:
Strength isn’t in what you lack.

It’s in what you refuse to surrender.
Believe. Fight. Create. Love.
You are limitless.
