Model and body positivity advocate Jess Quinn, who lost her leg to cancer at age 9, catches up with Amy to discuss her experience in a very raw and real conversation.
Jess explains the campaign she worked on called "Wear The Damn Shorts", how she's navigated her own feelings about her body, inclusivity in the space, and why she prefers to use the term 'differently-abled'. She also explains the uniqueness of her surgery, and how her heel ended up being her knee.
Oh, and it wouldn't be a beauty podcast if we didn't ask her how she styles her bangs.
