“#MyStory is about imagination, agility and love.” —GIMICO (@gimico_gimico), an amputee model based in Tokyo, who lost her right leg to osteosarcoma in eighth grade.
“The best part about going into modeling is that I got to meet some of my favorite people. The tough part of it is that people tend to see me as a person who went through a difficult past, which isn’t how I think of myself. Now, I can’t recall my feelings at the time of surgery without a bit of guessing and exaggeration. I think it’s because of my past self, who made the unyielding decision to live. To this day, I respect and am grateful to that eighth-grade girl.
I always challenge myself to do things that only I can do. Although I wouldn’t take credit for it, I do feel that more opportunities are emerging for people with disabilities to come forward in public events. If you’re ever worried about your future, my advice would be to ask yourself: ‘Do I really belong here?’ If you feel that something is not right, there should be a different road that’s carved out for you.”
