I don’t think it is. It’s pretty radical, in a good way. </p> <p>I definitely need to visit Target! @modachrome is also featured: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B8p7UETnpEH/?igshid=vmcwfshklc6y" rel="nofollow">https://www.instagram.com/p/B8.....cwfshklc6y</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9ci-never-saw-models-with-my-skin-condition-so-i-became-one%e2%80%9d#post-2099764 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 21:40:25 +0000 Suz 2099764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Amazing mom and amazing daughter. I also love that she is pursuing a degree in special eduction. She will be a wonderful teacher because she will have empathy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9ci-never-saw-models-with-my-skin-condition-so-i-became-one%e2%80%9d#post-2099759 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 21:25:19 +0000 Lieselotte Kander 2099759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspirational but I think a number of actresses and models have skin issues and they don't express them in public. Usually put makeup to hide them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9ci-never-saw-models-with-my-skin-condition-so-i-became-one%e2%80%9d#post-2099756 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 21:17:27 +0000 rachylou 2099756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting young lady. Quite pretty. It’s easier, for me anyways, when people let themselves be seen. You don’t know who’s out there until you do know.</p> <p>Also: I must say, Target has real range of models. I like Target. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9ci-never-saw-models-with-my-skin-condition-so-i-became-one%e2%80%9d#post-2099748 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 20:28:12 +0000 nuancedream 2099748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw Jeyza Gary in a recent Target ad for swimwear. This amazing and stunning young woman is pursuing her modeling career while completing her degree in special education. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9ci-never-saw-models-with-my-skin-condition-so-i-became-one%e2%80%9d#post-2099724 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 18:57:24 +0000 Lesley 2099724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, what a story! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/%e2%80%9ci-never-saw-models-with-my-skin-condition-so-i-became-one%e2%80%9d#post-2099720 Mon, 17 Feb 2020 18:53:10 +0000 Kari 2099720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Article about model Jeyza Gary via Instagram @wespeakmodels: <a href="https://instagram.com/wespeakmodels?igshid=kmb1m5vxos19" rel="nofollow">https://instagram.com/wespeakm.....b1m5vxos19</a></p> <p>“On the first day of school, my mom would come in her slacks and brown lip liner to educate the children and the teachers about my skin. She would make me stand beside her in the front of the class with my two Afro puffs and then she would say, “This is my daughter, Jeyza, and she has a skin condition. How many of you have seen a lizard or a snake? Jeyza’s skin is like that. Every 10 to 12 days, it sheds. It’s not contagious. She is just like everyone else.”<br /> She was teaching them, but in a way, she was teaching me, too. Hearing that recited over and over again at the beginning of school year reaffirmed that I was just like everyone else. My mom never made me feel like I was separate. If I was peeling on my forehead, she would tie a bandana on my head and I would go to school. If my brother wore shorts, I wore shorts.”</p> <p>“ One day I didn’t wear anything, and I was like, “Who is this person?” I started feeling like I needed makeup, so I stopped. My skin is art enough. There are moments when my skin is super bright and orange and light brown. Then there are moments when I’m just as chocolate as I want to be. I love them both equally. I take pride in my skin. I take pride in being two different shades of brown at the same time. I’m giving you a double dose of melanin.”</p> <p>“It’s not about me. It’s about allowing other people to see me and be encouraged... I want to be sought out by everybody that turned me down. There was never a person I could idolize growing up. It was my family instilling in me that I am good enough and there is nothing wrong with me. I want to be that for other people who don’t see it in themselves.”</p> <p><a href="https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2019/09/239883/jeyza-gary-lamellar-ichthyosis-model" rel="nofollow">https://www.refinery29.com/en-.....osis-model</a> </p>
