Quotes from Lauren Wasser

Social media forced us to look at the bigger picture. More people are standing up saying, 'Hey, wait, this is beautiful, too,' and the fashion industry is listening.

I'm an athlete - my legs were everything. I had no idea what my life would be like without them.

I begged my mother to not allow them to take it. We did our best, but unfortunately, I had to lose my right leg.

My go-to fashion uniform would be shorts and some really cool sneakers.

The identity that I knew was completely stripped of me. I hid, and I hated life; I hated everything. The sun would bother me.

My legs were my life.
