I Don't Need Your Pity - I'm Living My Influencer Dream | SHAKE MY BEAUTY
Jun 01 2021
A DISABLED INFLUENCER wants to be the role model she never saw herself as a child. Kartier Rose, 23, was born with spinal muscular atrophy - a progressive condition that causes the muscles to get weaker over time. She has been in a wheelchair virtually her entire life, and endured horrendous bullying as a child, with her tormentors even accusing her of faking her disability. But Kartier, of Bradford, UK, refuses to be held back, and has now become a successful influencer. On her YouTube and Instagram pages, she shares beauty tutorials, fashion tips and an insight into the realities of life with a disability. She also does modelling, and has even launched her own line of vegan false lashes. Kartier said: "I loved reading fashion magazines as a child, but disabled people were underrepresented. Seeing models that looked like me would have massively helped my confidence."
