Aaron Philip, the first black, transgender and disabled model to sign for a major agency, has achieved another trailblazing feat: her first magazine cover
Philip credits much of her success to her presence on social media, where she has a combined following of almost 120,000 on Twitter and Instagram. Her rise to fame is often traced to a viral 2017 tweet in which she declared:"honestly when i get scouted/discovered by a modeling agency it's OVER for y'all!"Although she consistently rejects the activist label , the Antigua-born model is nonetheless vocal about her high expectations for the industry.
"There's still a great lack of visibility and attention towards people with disabilities in fashion," she said in the CNN interview."As of right now, I'm one of two physically disabled models in the entire industry,"It shouldn't be the responsibility of anyone who is marginalized to amplify their voice when there are so many voices that can amplify them," she added."But it's just the way of getting to where you need to be. So I'll do it.
