Two years ago, Jeyza fulfilled her lifelong dream and became a model for Vogue Italia.
Jeyza Gary was born with ichthyosis, a rare genetic disease that causes her skin to peel off in pieces every few weeks.
This is a rare condition, affecting 1 in 100,000 people, and is inherited through chromosomal abnormalities.
It took Jase a long time to realize that there was something wrong with her appearance, that there was something unusual about her. It happened to her for the first time when she realized her parents were very protective of her.
When they walked out on the street, everyone stared and it really upset Jayza’s mother.
In high school, Jayza’s classmates told her she should try modeling. She took professional photos and sent them to several agencies.
When Jayza receives an invitation to New York, she can’t come – a storm is raging in North Carolina, where Jayza lives. Jayza worried that this might be the opportunity she missed, but then she decided that if God wanted her to take the opportunity, the company would write to her again. And it did.
Jayza has arrived in New York City. The Vogue agency invited her for another photo shoot.
