No Legs, No Worries: How Sara Shams is Redefining Beauty and Championing Disability Advocacy

In this empowering episode of Dtermined AF, we sit down with Sara Shams, a bilateral above-knee amputee, model, and disability advocate who’s transforming the conversation around beauty and representation. Growing up in Bangladesh with a disability, Sara faced unique challenges that fueled her drive to challenge narrow beauty standards and fight for visibility as a woman of color with a disability. From navigating her dual identity to breaking into the modeling industry and amplifying marginalised voices, Sara’s journey is one of resilience, self-acceptance, and bold ambition. Tune in for an inspiring conversation that will leave you determined to chase your dreams, redefine limits, and embrace your uniqueness.
