Anastasia Abro is a truly unique person. By the age of 30, she managed to become an 8-time Russian equestrian champion, get an education in art, make a modeling career, become a mother of two children and start producing her own projects. And all this is with cerebral palsy.
The life path of the woman was not easy - at school she was the object of ridicule, the family also did not support her undertakings. Anastasia's first vent was equestrian sports - in one of the interviews she said that she had loved horses since childhood. She achieved great success in sports - she became a 6-time champion of Moscow and an 8-time champion of Russia. Soon after, Anastasia felt that she had reached her ceiling in sports and decided to try her hand at modeling. Initially, it was not easy - the family did not support her new hobby, and castings were often cancelled due to illness. However, Anastasia did not give up and managed to start working as a model. After collecting a portfolio, the woman participated in castings and shootings for various photographers, magazines, and brands. One of the most significant projects is «Bezgraniz Couture», in which the woman became not only a model, but also an expert: she helped designers create clothes for people with motor impairments. It was this project that inspired her to produce one of her own. This is how the social show «NeFORMAT» appeared, the participants of which are 6 people with disabilities, including Anastasia. In addition, now Anastasia Abro lectures on body positivity, tolerance and cerebral palsy, collaborates with clothing brands for people with motor impairments.
By her example, Anastasia proved that people with disabilities are able to succeed in various areas and live a full life. The story of Anastasia is a source of inspiration and faith in the human resource. With her, you know that you can do anything.
