Own your identity. Love who you are in the world. Love your deafness.
I'm ready to take the world by storm and have them look at me and say, 'Deaf people can dance.'
I think the biggest misconception is that people think deaf people are not able to do things.
My message to my deaf community is that we can redefine anything however we want. Anything is re-definable only if we believe and work hard for it.
I am a visual person, given that I am deaf.
I have always aspired to be the type of role model who can bridge the deaf and hearing communities.
I got my mathematics degree because I wanted to teach deaf children math.
There are so many deaf kids out there being deprived of their own language.
Am I complaining about my deafness? No, I am not.
I feel the need to reframe our community positively and better deaf youth's lives, and with the 'DWTS' platform, I can - but it's not enough until I win.
I am truly humbled. Not only that I am going to be known as the final Top Model but as a final Top Model who is deaf! And that is an amazing tagline. This proves that deaf people can do anything and everything.
I'm fortunate to have blue eyes!
I am one hundred percent ready to be a spokesperson for the deaf community.
There is research proving that deaf people have increased visual abilities.
My sexiest feature is my body.
I think being deaf gave me an increased sense of sight.
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 have my own foundation, Nyle DiMarco Foundation, and it focuses on bettering deaf youths' lives.
A relationship isn't a priority of mine but, you know, I'm hoping soon enough.
I love to cook breakfast. I am a morning person.
