Meet Another Aspiring Teen Model with Down Syndrome who Wants to Change the Standards of Beauty!

Gigi Cunningham - BellaNaija - October 2015
In recent times, the model has pushed past her adversaries and is finding her footing in the modelling world. Gigi has worked on a number of local jobs, and has her first big gig – the Buddy Walk in Urbana Illinois, coming in a few days.
Speaking on her achievements so far, all Gigi really wants is for the world to accept those with Down Syndrome and see there are many types of beauty in the world. She told The Mighty Magazine – “I want the modeling world to give me a chance also and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. I want the world to really change how they perceive people with disabilities and continue to embrace their beauty. Never set limits on your child… they just might exceed them. People with Down syndrome are beautiful, smart, creative, loving, confident and it should be displayed.
