Of course there were some designers who say, ‘oh wow, I’m not sure my line should be presented by this or that, or this kind of figure,’ but I’m seeing less and less of that now. People are less afraid, as you get to know these talents with disabilities you immediately become aware of the fact that, here, there is really nothing to be afraid of. These are splendid creatures who perform in an incredible way. They are powerful and motivational, really.

Obviously, she’s a living, breathing example that just because you have a limb difference doesn’t mean you have to be inhibited or ‘disabled,’ she wasn’t always comfortable with her limb difference, entered a modelling industry where you are assessed based on how you look, and then pushed herself out of her comfort zone, and is now sharing her experiences and inspiring others to get out of their comfort zone as well.

What I really found most with these talents, with talents like Rebekah, is the capability to be a leader, to form even a temporary community, i’m always very touched to see her photographs with children, with people with amputations, with any kind of disability. She has a capability to uplift, to refuel them with a confidence and hope and optimism.
