Sophie Morgan, now 25, broke her back in a car accident in 2003 and is paralysed from the chest down and in a wheel chair for life. Seeing the world from a different perspective has led her to become an opinion former who is changing perceptions of disability by inspiring confidence in disabled people and acceptance and equality in society.
No stranger to the worlds of modeling and fashion, Sophie aims to see retailers supporting disability. The manifestation of this is in the form of a ‘wheelchair’ for mannequins in shop windows which she pioneered and designed.
Sophie, recently nominated for ‘Young Disabled Person of the Year Award’, has featured on several BBC shows, one of which ‘Britain’s Missing Top Model’ focused on the fashion industry and its relationship with disabled models.
An artist trained at Goldsmiths University, Sophie also works as a TV presenter (The One Show, CBBC and BBC3) as well director of the IMPERFECT campaign, which supports victims of disability discrimination and empower young disabled people. She lives and works in London.
