Chantelle Brown-Young

The prayers were eventually answered. After changing schools and heading in the wrong direction with the wrong company for a while, Chantelle suddenly realised that she was really in control of her destiny, but only if she was prepared to radically change the way she saw herself. So instead of blaming vitiligo for her woes, she began embracing her flaw, while at the same time pushing back the negative energies and the negative people who surrounded her.
With her new attitude, she soon discovered that the world wasn’t such a bad place after all, and a flood of new opportunities started to come her way, including photo shoots, magazine spreads and her eventual selection as a finalist or the 21st season of America’s Next Top Model contest.
“I want to be America’s next top model because it’s a lifelong dream”, she declared in her pitch video. “I am the underdog and I want to prove that one can follow one’s dreams despite all the flaws and setbacks”, she continued.
