This is The Model With a Bionic Arm and She's Walking New York Fashion Week's Runway
2015.09.04
Rebekah Marine has always wanted to be a model, but was told she couldn't be one because of her prosthetic arm. But against all odds, she's beaten all of them, and today, she'll be walking on the runway for New York's Fashion Week. She's been tapped by FTL Moda and will even join a lineup of models with diverse disabilities.
“It’s so important to include more diverse models, because after all, nearly one in five people in America have a disability,” Marine explains. “We should be celebrating uniqueness, not conforming to what the media thinks is beautiful.”
