This Teen With Down’s Syndrome Has Signed With 5 Modeling Agencies And Has 65k Followers On Instagram

Georgia Traebert is a 14-year-old girl with Down's syndrome from Curitiba, Brazil. Some time ago, her mother, Rubia, uploaded a picture of her to social media and what started as a simple photo on Facebook, eventually led to Georgia signing contracts with 5 different modeling agencies. Since then, the girl has appeared in quite a few commercials in her home country and continues to be an inspiration to people everywhere.

The idea was to see how much it can inspire other Down's Syndrome children."

So, we are investing in drama and singing classes. Who knows? Maybe she will act next."
