‘America’s Next Top Model’ Contestant to Host H Street NE Viewing Party Tonight

Locals can meet the first-ever deaf contestant on “America’s Next Top Model,” who will host a viewing party for the show on the H Street corridor tonight.

Nyle DiMarco, a 2013 graduate of Gallaudet University, will hold the gathering at Red Rocks (1348 H St. NE) at 6:30 p.m.

“It is inspiring being the first deaf participant on ANTM, knowing I am making a difference by reaching out and educating others about our deaf culture and teaching sign language to other cast members,” DiMarco said in a statement released by Gallaudet.

Created by supermodel Tyra Banks in 2003, America’s Next Top Model will start its 22nd season at 8 p.m. on The CW.
