Diandra Forrest

For decades now, society has continued to strive for equality. Day by day, minority groups are increasingly getting the attention they deserve, and amongst the champions of these movements for equality is model Diandra Forrest. She is one of the few African-American models with albinism. Moreover, she is credited for being the first African-American model with albinism to be signed to a top modeling agency.

As a model, it is plain to see that Forrest is easy on the eyes. The African beauty has utilized her unique look to achieve great success in the industry, and at the same time, her roots aren’t overlooked. She is a great representation of how minorities and how she, as a person with albinism, is also beautiful.

Dru Presta

Although we have seen people with dwarfism achieve great things in modern pop culture, it cannot be argued that they still lack representation. Some still struggle to accept them. However, Dru Presta is a testament to how we can open people’s minds to the beauties of dwarfism.There was an archaic stereotype that models should be tall.

Presta is one to break such old-fashioned views. She stands 3.4 feet tall, and yet, she has broken through countless barriers to finding a reasonable degree of recognition as a model. Her small stature holds a big dream of opening everyone’s eyes towards the innate beauty that we can find in everyone. She uses her platform as a tool in changing the social norms of what we see as beautiful.

Decades later, it has been recorded that she has at least 6,925 piercings on her body, and this was reported during the early 2010s.

Of course, as a young girl, it’s difficult to absorb the fact that she’s different from other kids her age.After her birth, she already experienced problems with her breathing through her nose.

Her eyes, on the other hand, tear involuntarily. With these, she had to undergo medical procedures in order to live a normal life. However, her facial defect is still there, which ultimately restricts her movements. Nowadays, despite all the hard times she has gone through, she is more confident to face the world. Aside from the woman who has a rare facial condition, Brühl is also credited as a fashion model.

She also graced the cover of Vogue Mexico and Vogue Japan.

A source mentioned that being a model was her childhood dream. Thankfully, a modeling agent noticed her striking looks and prompted her to be a model.
