Rebekah Marine is a model, motivational speaker and humanitarian. Despite being born without a right forearm, Rebekah has defied all odds in the fashion industry and has become one of the most recognizable models in the amputee community. Rebekah has traveled to Germany, Los Angeles, New York City, Boston, Kentucky and other cities for photo shoots, runway shows and speaking engagements.

Rebekah is represented by Models of Diversity, a group based in the UK, that helps promote models who don’t fit the normal stereotype. In addition to this, she was recently named ambassador for the Lucky Fin Project, a non-profit organization, which helps support those with upper limb differences.

In the future, Marine hopes to introduce the fashion industry to a new form of beauty. Rebekah believes models should come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and backgrounds. “We should be embracing and celebrating uniqueness, not conforming to what the media thinks is beautiful,” she adds.
