MEET MY DEAF FAMILY | Nyle DiMarco

Fact: I have over 25 Deaf members in my family. Yes, it is genetic; However only 10% are born to Deaf parents. Come and meet my family and learn what I do everyday and with my activism for #DeafTalent. This video exists because last year I was named "BeYoutiful" by a Deaf owned company, Convo (https://www.convorelay.com)

If you're new here, WELCOME! Here's a little more about me:

Nyle DiMarco is an actor, model and activist. He is a native New Yorker and was born into a large multigenerational Deaf family. He is an alumni of Gallaudet University, the only liberal arts University in the world for the Deaf, with a B.A. in mathematics.

Nyle is the first Deaf person to win America's Next Top Model Cycle 22 and Dancing With The Stars Season 22. As an actor, Nyle's castings have included: the lead in the independent film In the Can, an ASL Films production, as Garret on ABC Family's Switched at Birth, and Difficult People Hulu Series. As a founder of Nyle DiMarco Foundation and an honorary spokesman for Language Equality and Acquisition for Deaf Kids (LEAD-­K), Nyle is passionate about language and literacy and advocacy within the Deaf Community.

Nyle is a signer and creative collaborator on The ASL App (by Ink & Salt), an App created by native Deaf signers to teach conversational American Sign Language (ASL). Nyle DiMarco is Deaf and uses American Sign Language. American Sign Language requires the use of facial expressions and body movements, his Deafness amplifies his natural talent. His Deafness is an asset and not a limitation, he is amicable and able to communicate easily.
