Kanya Sesser, the inspiring model born with no legs

Meet Kanya Sesser, and prepare to be inspired.

She was born without legs and found abandoned outside a Buddhist temple in Thailand as a baby, but aged five she was adopted and brought to the US.

Now she is a model and extreme sports fan making a name for herself in California, and considering competing in the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Kanya tends to not use a wheelchair, instead relying on a skateboard.

Her bio on Instagram reads: "I'm weird and different. No legs no limits."

Speaking to Mail Online, she said:

I love showing people what beauty can look like. I don't need legs to feel sexy.

I'm different, and that is sexy.
