And of course, this Christmas Day podcast would not be complete without this
classic holiday hit by the lovely Mariah Carey. Thanks to Mariah for
embracing and acknowledging the Deaf Community's ASL interpretation of her song,
All I want for Christmas Is You. Nyle DiMarco, Deaf Celebrity
and founder of the Nyle DiMarco Foundation, started
his ASL Challenge on Twitter for people to make ASL videos
under the #AllIWantForChristmasIsYou. It went viral!
If you didn't know, "The Nyle DiMarco Foundation is a nonprofit organization
that exists as a national philanthropic resource for all organizations,
institutions and individuals working to improve the lives of every Deaf person in
the world. Their current priority area is Deaf children and families."
Nyle and the Foundation are guided by the principle that every
child deserves love and language. Find out more about the Nyle
DiMarco Foundation at www.nyledimarcofoundation.com
This is why ASL interpretation, captions, and transcripts are so important
in social and multimedia content. They add educational value and make
content more accessible.
And now without further ado, All I Want for Christmas Is You!
By the way, there is a great educational video with ASL interpretation of
"All I Want for Christmas Is You" by YouTuber underkass13.
