My name is Jean Piere Labuschagne. I am blind in my left eye due to an accident in my childhood. I have modeled in the past, and have been featured in magazines, newspaper articles, and billboards. I used to model with my prosthetic eye to look as normal as possible, but now I have embraced being my authentic self by choosing to stand out with my eyepatch rather than fit in with my prosthetic.
Now my goal is to be able to model without hiding my disability. I would like to raise awareness for the one-eyed community and show them that there is strength in choosing to stand out rather than fit in. I have seen that this message really resonates with people - I have over 120,000 followers on Instagram and 300,000 followers on TikTok (@oneeyemodel).
