Becoming the first #deaf winner of #ANTM in 2015, #NyleDiMarco asserts that his deafness is anything but a disadvantage. In fact, it has given him a whole new outlook on his work in the #fashion industry. For NyleDiMarco, #Pride is about self-empowerment and being able to make decisions on one’s own terms. Through his various creative pursuits, his goal is to “work to represent #queer deaf people, both on screen and behind the camera” while brining them into the business. “A big part of it was to see more deaf queer #representation in Hollywood, which has been missing.
