The story of Dru Presta proves that limitations can only keep us down as long as we let them; she landed a modeling gig despite being 3ft 4inches tall.
The 21 years old had moved to Los Angeles two years ago to get into the fashion business and just got recognized but she tells that she had to overcome years of bullying.
She said about where she had moved from: “The way people reacted was not the best way for a child to ever be exposed to. Reno, Nevada is really small. So, it’s very small in diversity. They weren’t quite accepting to the fact of something that was different. Something abnormal. They definitely rang me out really hard. They teased and they made hurtful names. I just stuck out like a sore thumb.”
Her move to L.A. had proved to be a defining moment for her as she felt more comfortable visiting stores that catered for her special needs unlike back home. It didn’t hurt to express herself when she had the opportunity too.
She also states that she felt a lot better in front of the camera, ‘a lot sexier’ miss Presta said, ‘what can I say, I love being in front of the camera’.
Dru is now interested in helping others as she runs a body-positive Instagram page that is geared at making others accept themselves with their differences and make the best out of their situations.
