In episode 5, I’m speaking with Allison E. Lang, an incredible young woman who was born missing the lower half of one of her legs, who once was severely bullied yet has now channeled adversity into empowerment. Allison has since surfed, descended into an active volcano, and has two university degrees. Her vulnerability and her will to seek comfort in her discomfort and speak up to help others struggling from lack of self-esteem or self-worth is incredibly inspiring. She and I discuss embracing our differences, the mainstream media’s depiction of beauty and our hopes for the industry to continue to evolve.
