Chapter 34 of QUIETING THE CLOCK is a compelling, powerful story of a teen girl born with half of a heart called HLHS, along with 4 other Congenital Heart Defects. Her invisible disability consumes her life and destroys her mental health, with no break as she is abused repeatedly, some weeks every single night, for 11 years.
Modeling was one of her outlets, and gave her an ounce of self esteem, until Modeling Agents told rejected her due to her heart surgery scars and varicose veins.
Only a few local modeling stores allowed her to represent their clothing, and even then - had to be covered from head to toe and dressed so differently from the other girls, as in excerpt and photo below.
...
I represent one of thousands of Models with Chronic Illnesses and Disabilities.
We deserve to be in Ads, Commercials, TV Shows and Movies as much as health / able-bodied people, to show our future children, teens, and adults that IT'S OKAY TO HAVE A "FLAWED" BODY. In fact, it should be the new norm.
