Marit is an activist for diversity and inclusion. She was born without her left hand and missed having a rolemodel in her life. Now she's trying to change that for young girls by becoming a rolemodel! Instagram: Maritsmit

Hey Stephanie! I know looks are important in this society, and that sucks... But at the end of the day it's not what makes us happy. I truly believe that it's what's on the inside that counts :) Don't give up! You are worthy of living this crazy and beautiful life! Try to look at all the things that make you happy! And I'm very glad we gave you a positive feeling with this shoot :)
