Day 19 of #31DaysOfSMA: Here’s Why Diverse Representation Matters
Shailynn Taylor is a 26-year-old entrepreneur, university graduate, public speaker, and model, and she lives with SMA type 2.
Shailynn remembers what the lack of representation in all aspects of her life felt like as a kid. There were no TV shows, musicians, or anyone she could identify with.
Shailynn has strived to paint a different picture for kids to come. Through public speaking and diversity modeling, she is not only building her dream life but also proving that diverse representation in all aspects of life matters.
We salute you Shailynn!
