Model of the Day: Legless Olympian Takes a Turn Shooting Lingerie Cover

Kanya Sesser doesn't need legs to keep moving.

The 23-year-old surfer, motivational speaker and propective para-Olympian is now making $1,000 a day as a lingerie model.



Cosmopolitan tells some of her story:

Modeling is "something fun" that "shows her story," Sesser said. "I'm different and that is sexy, I don't need legs to feel sexy … I love showing people what beauty can look like. These images show my strength."

As a child, Sesser would use a skateboard, not a wheelchair, to get around, which spurned her love of sports early on. In addition to the modeling, she's currently training to compete in the Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, in 2018.

According to the Huffington Post UK, Sesser's reportedly landed modeling jobs with Nike, Rip Curl Girl, and Billabong.

She also uses a skateboard instead of a wheelchair.



She's just so cool.
