Twenty-year-old Brandon Farbstein, who was diagnosed with a rare form of dwarfism at two-years-old, is working to empower millions of people who live with a disability.
The motivational speaker and an author encourages others to overcome challenges and elevate empathy.
Farbstein, who will be sporting Tommy Hilfiger, will be representing Runway of Dreams in a virtual show Monday
The nonprofit organization promotes acceptance in the fashion industry for people with disabilities.
“If you would have told me when I was younger that I would have the opportunity to be a model, I probably would have laughed at the thought…ME??? A MODEL?” Farbstein posted on Instagram. “However, there are times when people see something in you that you may not see in yourself.”
The show is free to stream.
