Black Teen With Down Syndrome Brushes Off Bullying and Breaks Into Modeling
Black people inspire me every day.
I never see black people with Down syndrome in the media
you should watch the original of that Down Syndrome “dear future mom” video. i was trying to lipread them and realised it wasn’t mostly in english. they have italian, french, spaniard, and british (i may have missed more?) Down Syndrome people represented, speaking in their national languages (english subtitles), so it’s a kind of pan-european video!
Madeline Stuart, the courageous and inspiring teen model with Down syndrome whose story we first told here, has just landed her first major modeling contract. Manifesta, a U.S.-based women’s athletic-wear brand that targets women of all shapes, sizes and types, has taken on Stuart as one of their representatives.
The match seems like one made in heaven – after all, Madeline decided to become a model after she lost 44lbs (20kg) in a big to improve her health and slim down. Manifesta, on the other hand, is an athletic apparel brand whose goal is to make and advertise clothing for women of all body types.
“With all that Madeline is doing, we’re so excited to have her represent Manifesta,” the company writes on their blog. “Just as Madeline is committed to expanding people’s ideas of what a model can be, Manifesta is determined to show that the clothing and fashion industry doesn’t have to be exclusionary, that one brand can work for women of various sizes.”
