JANINE SANTOS
NEW YORK CITY
Hello, my name is Janine Santos, 22 years young and I have cerebral palsy (spastic dysplasia).
Due to my disability I have to use either crutches or a wheelchair to get around. But I do not let my disability stop me. I am an aspiring model for Bronx Fashion Week, a make up artist and I love to sing.
I am also very passionate about physical fitness. I live in the gym. I strongly believe that a disability should never stop a person from making the most of there life. Living a life without limits and showing the world that beauty has more than one definition is what I live for.
Beauty should never be defined as a size 0 or 2 perfect legs or a certain height my motto is being perfectly imperfect is more than okay it is absolutely BEAUTIFUL.
Girls should never be afraid to follow their dreams and if I can motivate just 1 girl to follow what their heart so desperately desires then I did my job.
I have participated in two fashion shows one for Aval & Co: The Dollhouse Emancipation and one for Bronx Fashion Week: The Butterfly Effect.
I am also preparing myself to compete in the Miss New York USA Pageant in January 2017.
