Jillian Mercado

Actor and model Jillian Mercado joins Jameela this week to discuss Jillian's experience growing up with muscular dystrophy, going from a child obsessed with fashion to an adult woman working in the fashion industry, how she became a Diesel model, that "different" isn't bad, advice on how to date a disabled person, and the need for more representation of disabilities in media.
