At 23-years-old, Kanya Sesser is at
the top of her game as a skateboarder, surfer, snowboarder, and model.
She was born without legs, which has only motivated her to go above and
beyond in everything she sets her mind to. The tattooed lady of Los
Angeles earns upwards of $1,000 a day as a lingerie model and lives by
the motto, “No Legs, No Limits.” In regards to modeling she told the
Daily Mail, “I don’t need legs to feel sexy.”
She said she doesn’t use a wheelcjhair to get around, choosing to use her skateboard instead.
“People do stare at me since I’m around
Venice boardwalk skateboarding and stuff like that,” she said. “But when
people stare I just think, Okay cool. I’m a celebrity.”
Kanya is originally from Thailand, however but says she was abandoned
at a Buddhist temple when she was just one week old. At age five, she
moved to Portland, Oregon with her adoptive parents.
Kanya just recently began training to compete in the mono ski at the 2018 Paralympics.
She said, “I’ve always had body confidence. “Society’s got nothing on
us. Be confident, life is valuable. We have one moment, one life.”
Kanya is truly an inspiration to a lot of us. Do not let anything stop you from chasing your dreams.
