Jeyza Gary (@lyricallydiverse) was born with a skin condition called #lamellarichthyosis. It’s rare, only affects about one in 100,000 people, and stems from her parents having an abnormal chromosome.

Jeyza has been through a lot of pain growing up differently, however, that is what has developed her into the wonderful soul she is.

“Growing up, I had no idea I’d be as resilient as I am today. Shame, embarrassment, and insecurities embraced me the way I wished my peers would. I have never seen anyone like myself growing up. So, I decided to become an example without a guide. My skin encompasses the strength of all the pain ridicule provides.

It’s something so beautiful, so unique and so authentic. I couldn’t ever imagine a life where I wasn’t myself and I’m glad I don’t have to. I’m grateful to be me.”⁠ – Jeyźa – @lyricallydiverse, Ichthyosis model 😥 .

If that doesn’t tear you up nothing well. She is now signed to We Speak Models in Italy, See the works of the aspiring model below.
