In this week’s episode I am sitting down with disabled model and advocate Bri Scalesse. Bri is a true queen in every sense of the word. Paralyzed at age six, Bri has refused to let her disability, or society’s perception of disability, stop her from pursuing her dreams. She has wheeled the runways at New York Bridal Fashion Week and New York Fashion Week and opened designer Nancy Volpe-Beringer’s fashion show during the Project Runway season 18 finale...and she’s just getting started. We discuss her career as a disabled model, her advocacy work, a certain airline, and what it means to be disabled in 2021.
