Because we are women, we have to fight for everything. We need to stick together.
All of a sudden, I don't have a leg. I'm in a wheelchair. I have half a foot; I can't even walk to the bathroom. I'm in a bed, I can't move, and I felt like those four walls were my prison.
Had I known all the info about TSS, I would never have used tampons.
I read the personal stories everyone shares with me - those stories inspire me to keep going, and in doing so, I hope that I can inspire them in return.
Social media forced us to look at the bigger picture. More people are standing up saying, 'Hey, wait, this is beautiful, too,' and the fashion industry is listening.
I can do both of the things I love, which is raise awareness for TSS and work as a model to help change beauty standards. It was a win-win.
My goal is to keep going and reach as far as possible to beat all odds placed before me.
I stand not just for a disability, but I stand for women and women's rights.
My go-to fashion uniform would be shorts and some really cool sneakers.
I just really love wearing shorts!
Both my mom and dad were models.
First and foremost, I loved basketball. My dad introduced me to basketball when I was a baby.
I want the image of disabled people like myself to change into a picture of strength. Fashion needs to redefine its idea of beauty and have more of an open mind.
I used to look at fashion from a superficial standpoint, and I can admit now that I wasn't so nice of a person.
