Fun fact about me: I have a lazy right eye. It just gets so tired sometimes it stops working 🙃 It isn't always noticeable, but it has never stopped me from shooting, modeling, or competing in pageants. I wore braces for a good five years while competing & modeling. I was also 20 lbs over than what the recommended average weight was for my height (5'3), and back then I was considered "fat." I didn't get as much work as other taller, thin models, but it taught me to not give a flying f*** and to keep pushing, because it was something I enjoyed.
To any of my young girls or ladies that have considered any sort of modeling or pageantry, but have shied away because of a "flaw," don't sweat the small stuff or allow little things like that stop you from doing what you want to do. Everyone has certain things about themselves that they really can't change. The sooner you learn self acceptance, the more confident you'll be. Most of the time you're the only one that notices, and if someone does point it out, learn to laugh and love yourself anyway. Lazy eye and all 😜 - 📸
