Justina Miles made history Sunday night as millions tuned in to watch the Philadelphia Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs at the Super Bowl in Glendale, Arizona.
Miles, 20, is a deaf American Sign Language performer and signed the pre-show’s “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” sung by Emmy-award-winning actress Sheryl Lee Ralph, as well as the highly anticipated Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show helmed by mega-star Rihanna.
The moment made Miles the first female deaf performer for the Super Bowl’s halftime show. In an email to CNBC Make It, Miles described the history-making opportunity as “a great honor.”
During the halftime show, Miles delivered a high-energy performance running through 13 minutes of Rihanna’s biggest career hits, including “B---- Better Have My Money,” “Work,” “Umbrella,” Diamonds” and others.
