#vogue #cover 💖💖 @vogueindia thank you so much for the feature✨ Posted @withregram • @vogueindia From embarking on a two-hour long journey on foot to school each day to walking the runway at New York Fashion Week, Anjali Lama (@anjalilama_official) has come a long way from when she was growing up in a remote village in the Nuwakot district of #Nepal. With her slender frame, and a face that reflects her fierce determination, Lama today continues to march on against the odds stacked against her. “I believe fashion can serve as a great medium to spread awareness about the #LGBTQIA+ community. I can articulate my identity through fashion, I’ve made my name through it. Media sparks a conversation and holds great power in shaping social values and ideas. Every time someone asks who Anjali Lama is - she’s a #transgender model, ” she says. At the link in bio, #VogueIndia's August cover star shares her journey as a #queer model in the fashion industry today.
