How Actress and Model Jillian Mercado Is Breaking Boundaries For Disabled Latinas

Mercado is incredibly proud to represent the disabled community, especially as a person of color. "I want to live in a world where people who have disabilities feel like it's okay to do the career that they want to do, and not have to think about whether society doesn't want them to be a lawyer or doctor or astronaut just because they have a disability," she wrote on Instagram.
