Face model rejected by makeup artist for being an amputee trends online
A Nigerian man has taken to social media to cry out after his physically challenged sister was discriminated against - According to his tweets, she is a face model and was booked for a job - However, she got turned away on her arrival because she is an amputee with only an arm It is no news that physically challenged people continue to suffer discrimination due to their appearance, regardless of whether they are trying to earn a living and better their lives. Twitter was thrown into outrage when a man identified as @orangechild_ took to the platform to cry out after his baby sister, an amputee who is a face model was turned down for a job after she was already booked. Apparently, the makeup artist had booked her for a job. On her arrival, the makeup artist turned her away on realizing she was an amputee and went ahead to complain to the agency for sending a physically challenged person to her.
@orangechild_ narrated on Twitter: "So apparently my baby sis got rejected by a makeup artist ( client ) because apparently when booking a face model she didn’t know she was an amputee ... got there and she lied to her that something came up. "Went someplace private to call her manager to rant about why the agency should send her an amputee.. like she was a plague. It’s so devastatingly sad that In this day and age people still see amputee as ‘not enough’ "
