Meet The Stunning Model Who Was Born With No Legs
Despite being born with no legs, 23-year-old model Kanya Sesser has always been determined to not let her disability hold her back. Already a successful athlete, she is now earning more than £650-a-day as an underwear model!
Kanya, who currently lives in California, was adopted from an orphanage in Thailand when she was five-years-old by an American family. She does not use a wheelchair, but instead relies on a skateboard to get around and can walk on her hands - amazing!
She is an extreme sports nut, and is currently training for the 2018 Winter Paralympics. Starting in sports modelling when she was 15, Kanya admits that: “modelling wasn’t something [she’d] always dreamed of doing - it just happened for me.”
Explaining why she now loves modelling, Kanya said:
“It’s something fun and it shows my story - I’m different and that is sexy, I don’t need legs to feel sexy. I enjoy making money from it and I love showing people what beauty can look like. These images show my strength”.
Kanya’s biggest fan is her boyfriend Brian, who agrees that her modelling work shows a different and important offering of what is ‘beauty':
“He recently saw my modelling for the first time and told me he thought it was beautiful and unique.”
What an inspiration!
