Advocating for the Deaf Community with Model, Actor and Activist Nyle DiMarco

Nyle DiMarco (@nyledimarco) is looking for allies. He’s a model and an actor, but it’s in his role as a deaf activist that he’s made the most impact. “While I educate the world about what it means to be deaf and make changes through my foundation, I need people to get a glimpse of our culture,” explains Nyle, who lives in New York City. In the videos he shares, Nyle often teaches American Sign Language (ASL). “The idea of making ASL more mainstream intrigues me,” he says. “We’re beautiful people with rich culture and language. Sure, we’re different but that makes the world a better place. Take your time and get to know your deaf relative, your deaf neighbor, your deaf co-worker and you will fall in love.”
