I Am Beauty with CoverGirl Model, Amy Deanna

Society places a high value on perfection. Flawless skin, perfect hair and teeth, size 0 bodies...we are inundated with beauty products and fads guaranteed to create an ideology of perfection that doesn't exist.

Amy Deanna has been given a rare opportunity to show women that they are beautiful, flaws and all. Being struck with vitiligo at age 18, Amy has had to learn that beauty if far more than skin deep. As the first African-American Covergirl model with vitiligo, Amy is on a crusade to show women that they "don't need to blend in, when they can stand out."

Amy Deanna is a 23 year old Texas Native. She was the 7th (out of 12) child born to James Wells Jr. and Carolyn Wells. Amy got into modeling at nineteen years old, it started out as a hobby. While Amy enjoys modeling her passion lies in Vitiligo awareness, music and acting. Find her on Instagram at www.instagram.com/amy.deanna
