Check it out, People Magazine did a spot on the latest winner of Dancing With the Stars!

Nyle DiMarco, the deaf model who won both America’s Next Top Model and Dancing With the Stars did an interview spot with the popular celebrity magazine People Magazine.

Here, you can see him talk about his feeling on winning both shows and express his latest endeavor with his charity for increased access to American Sign Language and early education for deaf children. DiMarco is currently the celebrity champion for awareness of ASL options for deaf children and to encourage more states in the US to pass laws to grant deaf children their right to an ASL-based education.

DiMarco won over everyone with his looks and modeling grace in Cycle 22 on America’s Next Top Model (especially Tyra Banks’ heart.) He went on to win Dancing With The Stars with the famed dancer Peta Murgatroyd (who has been his biggest supporter,) making him not only the first Deaf but also the first LGBQT competitor to win.

Congratulations to DiMarco on his success!
