Kanya Sesser, 23, is a surfer, a model, and a motivational speaker — also, she was born without legs. Originally adopted from an orphanage in Thailand at the age of 5, Sesser is now making $1,000 a day doing lingerie shoots, the New York Daily News reports.
Modeling is “something fun” that “shows her story,” Sesser said. “I’m different and that is sexy, I don’t need legs to feel sexy … I love showing people what beauty can look like. These images show my strength.”
According to the Huffington Post UK, Sesser’s reportedly landed modeling jobs with Nike, Rip Curl Girl, and Billabong.
As a child, Sesser would use a skateboard, not a wheelchair, to get around, which spurned her love of sports early on. In addition to the modeling, she’s currently training to compete in the Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, in 2018.
