about
jeanette chedda is a disability advocate, speaker and model who represents the rolemodel she needed growing up. ‘you can’t be what you can’t see’ is one of her favorite quotes. and representation matters is what she lives. with her presence in magazines, media, politics and activism she blows away the hetero cis, male, skinny, tall and able bodied ‘norm’. and that’s long overdue. especially in the netherlands.
what advice would you give to your younger self?
you are loved, you are appreciated, you are the icon you think you are, don’t let anyone tell you less or doubt you. have patience, love yourself. you deserve the world and more. the world is not worthy of you. i see you
