Nyle DiMarco

Nyle DiMarco won America's Next Top Model in 2015 and Dancing with the Stars in 2016, then used the attention to start the Nyle DiMarco Foundation, which campaigns for Deaf children to have early access to sign language. He executive-produced the Netflix series Deaf U, made with Deaf students at Gallaudet University, and the documentary Audible. His focus on language deprivation gives his advocacy a precise target.
