What a stunner.
Emily Prior, from Australia, is trying to change the way people view disabilities within the modeling world.
At just 10 years of age, Emily has already become the face of a number of different brands, such as Target, Betts Kids and Rock Your Baby.
She was chatting to The Daily Mail recently when she spoke about how she wants people with disabilities to be included in all types of advertising.
She said:
“It’s important to represent people with a disability in advertising because “it’s who we are”. We all need to be included.
I would really like more big brands to include disability in their advertising. There are not enough brands including people with disability.”
Her hunger for change began two years ago when she was flicking through a magazine and pointed out, to her mother, that there were no children like her included in it.
Emily says that she wants to make a difference and educate people about cerebral palsy.
“I am trying to make a difference, to make sure that people with disabilities are seen in advertising and that everyone is being included.
I like that people can see what my disability looks like and maybe learn something about cerebral palsy.
I am very proud because it means that lots of people can learn about my disability and they can also see how to include disability.”
