Disability is not inability: Girl with no legs makes $1000 per day as a lingerie model

At 23-years-old, Kanya Sesser is at the top of her game as a skateboarder, surfer, snowboarder, and model. 
She was born without legs, which has only motivated her to go above and beyond in everything she sets her mind to.

The tattooed lady of Los Angeles earns upwards of $1,000 a day as a lingerie model and lives by the motto, “No Legs, No Limits.” In regards to modeling she told the Daily Mail, “I don’t need legs to feel sexy.”

She said she doesn't use a wheelchair to get around, choosing to use her skateboard instead.

“People do stare at me since I’m around Venice boardwalk skateboarding and stuff like that,” she said. “But when people stare I just think, Okay cool. I’m a celebrity.” 

Kanya is originally from Thailand, however, but says she was abandoned at a Buddhist temple when she was just one week old. 

At age five, she moved to Portland, Oregon with her adoptive parents. Kanya just recently began training to compete in the mono ski at the 2018 Paralympics. 

She said, “I’ve always had body confidence. “Society’s got nothing on us. Be confident, life is valuable. We have one moment, one life.” 

Valuable lessons about never giving up your dreams no matter how many obstacles you face in your life.
