![]() The fact that Zappos has an open mind to listen to people with disabilities and parents of kids with disabilities why I came here. What are your thoughts about Zappos Adaptive and our mission? Go out there, follow your dreams, and don’t ever give up! Although we were born into a world that may not be made for us, we’re making it our own. If you feel like you want to grow beyond where you currently are, it may be time to consider moving to a place that allows you to be authentically yourself. I wasn’t trendy, there weren’t a lot of options, so I removed myself from that environment and I put myself in a position where so many of my needs could be met. I’m from a very small town and there weren’t many clothing options for me. To those who have similar challenges as me, if you think you’re in a rut and you can’t find anything that fits, keep trying or remove yourself and put yourself in a position that would make you happy. ![]() What advice would you give to someone who have similar dressing challenges as you? I want to look like I’m going out just like any other woman would do. More shoe options! I would love to see more age-appropriate high heels that are a better fit to little people’s feet. What do you wish you had that you don’t have? I can fit into just about anything else with some small adjustments. ![]() I’ve learned how to hem pants myself because my mom has taught me to be independent. With pants, I cannot go with super skinny legs because this girl’s got a booty, ya know! As little people, we struggle to fit it in some things. I know that I can fit into a lot of jackets but I know I cannot go small in kids because their shoulders are not as broad as mine yet. So I work with women’s clothing that is my size, as well as children’s sizes. The biggest challenge I have is that sometimes clothes are too long because of the straps, or if I go to the kids’ section it’s difficult to find the right thing the clothing is made for people who are as developed as I am. What are some of your challenges in getting dressed? Brands and fashion designers are changing their perspectives on beauty, and that is exactly what I set out to do. I set my heart on this, and I was by myself during the whole journey and I did it! I now partner with brands who’ve opened their minds to more people. I wanted to come here (to LA) to pursue my dreams in fashion. When I think about something I completely set my mind and whole heart to it and I dedicate what I want to do for that whole journey. I describe myself as determined and driven. Oh god! Just one word? Okay! I’ll give you two. I love fashion and keep in trend with everything that’s coming out. I like to see every new attraction in Los Angeles. I love to keep active! I love hiking, going to the beach, spending time with friends and I like to keep myself busy. That is literally the only thing that’s different about me. I want the world to know that I’m just as boss, I’m just as driven as everybody else in this world.
