Down Syndrome Model: Gigi Cunningham 

Abena Adams right

Abena Adams ikr 😂😂

Exactly!! People will tear down, hurt, and even try to break someone down who is different or has down syndrome, treating them like they are missing something when in reality she is mature, she has gone through trials and tribulations of her own like every one else has, she has her own goals, her own story, has a moral compass of right and wrong, is very intelligent, and even exudes such a massive amount of self confidence that some people will never even obtain in their entire existence. It makes my heart heavy because she is truly so beautiful to me. I love how she cannot be told what she is or isnt, or what she can and can't do!! Many blessings to her and her family ❤

Selena Torres Your right

Pedro Vaz no she is not

We agree Cheryl - thank god we have moved forward! Gigi is an amazing young women and is going to go far!

she's cute!

Very true! People used to be ashamed of a family member who had DS, or any type of intellectual disability, as if it was some kind of punishment. Yes, raising a kid who has it has some extra challenges, but so does raising a kid who is a genius. They also give us extra blessings! As much as I hate lumping groups of people together, in my experience, people who have DS are usually kind, happy, gentle people. Of course, there are the exceptions. There is nothing wrong with people who have DS. They take the best of our qualities & make them their own. Science says they have an extra chromosome. Maybe the rest of us are missing one. Imagine a world where people are kind, gentle, quick to forgive, and sweet. Gigi is BEAUTIFUL, DS, or not! Gorgeous is gorgeous! You go, Gigi!!!!! I want to call you the R word - REMARKABLE!!!! You are!

Cheryl S.D they still are in country😞

+Leslie Browne That's a damn shame because God makes no mistakes... Everyone deserve the opportunity to shine...

Sawadaa Harrison AMEN to that! 💕👍🏻💕

@@mistrotech8894 true i was think down syndrome people have different IQ even than other down's

Wish my mom was alive

If I have a child with a disability I’m going to get involved in thing that my parent didn’t do with me

Kind it varies, there’s much higher and much lower ability down syndromes

Well said Livelifelaugh! Gigi's mum's outlook on life is truly incredible! We hope you enjoyed the story, thanks for watching!

@@AttitudeLive she is a bit of a SHOW OFF , she deserves to be as she is Pretty , I wish I was as confident as her even though I am OLDER than her ( 61 ) also I am a physically disabled wheelchair user

Is it just me , or does David look BORED ?

Let's not overlook Dad either!!!!

And I noticed there is no mention of the sperm donor. She did it as a single parent!!!!!

Gigi certainly has some sass!

Glad you enjoyed their story! Thanks for watching!

Chloe Milbauer no

My younger cousin who is about 20 has the same name spelled a bit different than the original... They call her Mo for short and when her mom named her that I was so damn confused, but all of her kids have this kind of name, such as Money (not spelled that way of course lol).

I disagree but it’s nice you enjoy it

It fits her- perfectly.

They're truly an amazing family aren't they Brianna!

agreed

Brianna Johnson wish my grandma was like that’s Because. It hard being a disabled person

Totally agree! She's awesome!

Yes, and I think all individuals who have special needs should aspire to be like her.

The Luciano family parents

I believe her family's support and the fact that they treat her like any other teenager is the reason she is so confident. Kudos to her and them. Did you see her ironing her clothes for school? Just awesome!

Thanks for watching Synick!

Thanks for the support, we really appreciate it! stay tuned for more!

Thanks for the support Gabrielle! Glad you enjoyed the episode

Thank you for watching! Hope you enjoyed!

Thanks for sharing Yolanda! we wish the best for you and your daughter

My sister stifles my niece she controls her far too much. She won't let her go to a residential holiday centre for a few weeks. My niece was so different when she was in a term time boarding college. My niece does not have any friends she does not go to a day centre she is doing nothing except going out with her mother (my sister) it's not good for my niece never to be able to mix with others. We can't say anything to my sister about it, she would loose her temper and cut contact with us completely like she has before.

You not alone I do the same myself especially since Covid I always say the bite of faith always get u though

We do to! Gigi is pretty amazing and going to go far!

:)

Thanks for comment! Gigi was awesome to work with and we're sure she'll go far!

I love this family, the mother is fantastic, that how parents SLD b n the Dad too God bless u all. But rember one important thing there is a God n we must tell our children n train them in the things of him. Jesus died on the cross for us, he already prepared a place for u, to b with him, but u HV to follow his principles n its wonderful repent of ur sins baptized in Jesus name n received his spirit, O wat a joy, read the bible pray ask Jesus to reveal himself to u, n he will God bless u all

Thanks for watching Sophie!Hope you enjoyed our channel!

Sophie N let's be realistic. This would never end up in a magazine

Brad Harris There are tons of fashion magazines and modeling agencies who don't stick to the skinny, flawless white girl standard of modeling. Sure, she may not end up in a mainstream popular modeling magazine, but her landing a job as a model is very much achievable for her.

Karen Reed How is acting confident in yourself mean that you’re full of yourself? Like what’s so bad about her feeling good about herself and having thicker skin incase people talk smack about her? Like what did you expect her to do? Lock herself in a room crying about her looks? 😂

Isn't she amazing! Thanks for watching Stacey!

Oh wow!!!!! Did the doctors perform blood work to confirm what they said ?

MAY GOD BLESS GIGI, AND HER FAMILY IN ALL THERE ENDEAVORS.
