I am one hundred percent ready to be a spokesperson for the deaf community.
From Nyle DiMarco
I never danced growing up.
We have our own culture, our own community. A lot of people don't realize that. They just assume that deaf people are very unfortunate, very disabled, but no.
I've never wanted to hear.
Growing up, I was always involved in the deaf community.
If I'd been born into a hearing family and went to a public school, I would have probably felt much more isolated, and being deaf would have become my identity.
I love working with photographers.
I love it when I surprise photographers that, despite the fact that I am deaf, I am capable of meeting their vision. I love it that I can read their body language and know what they do not like and what they do like.
I think being deaf gave me an increased sense of sight.
I'm really excited to educate the world about what deaf people can do.
