Nyle DiMarco Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages von Nyle DiMarco:

I have my own foundation, Nyle DiMarco Foundation, and it focuses on bettering deaf youths' lives.

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 started to realize that there are a lot of people who are unaware of deaf culture, and I've been given a great platform to reframe 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.

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.

Nyle DiMarco

Own your identity. Love who you are in the world. Love your deafness.

When I signed up for 'Dancing with the Stars,' I was nervous. If I threw everything off, there are 10-15 million people watching, and that would be a negative viewpoint of deaf people, and I didn't want that.

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.

My passion, personally, is being my true self while inspiring young people who are struggling with their identities to love themselves for who they are.

I would love to work with Mario Testino. I respect all the work he has done and is doing.

I think the biggest misconception is that people think deaf people are not able to do things.

Nyle DiMarco

In middle school, I had the best math teacher I've ever had, and he was deaf... and I felt inspired by him. I knew from then on that I wanted to be a math teacher.
