Beth Matthews, A Model From Swansea With Down's syndrome, Has Signed With An Agency.

After being signed by a major modeling agency, a woman with Down's syndrome is commencing her modeling career.

Beth Matthews, 22, from Swansea, decided to try modeling after seeing Ellie Goldstein's work, who also has Down's syndrome and has worked for Gucci.

Beth has signed with Zebedee, the same agency that represents Goldstein's clients with disabilities and other physical differences.

Fiona Matthews, her mother, claimed she has been "blossoming" since she began modeling.

After hearing about Goldstein's work via Ms Matthews' sister, Beth's family decided to investigate the possibility of her doing some modeling to see how she would fare.

Ms Matthews claimed she was "absolutely great" after half an hour of searching for a local stylist and photographer for a photoshoot.

Beth was signed by Zebedee only a few weeks afterwards, and she has since participated in a number of photoshoots.

The organization was founded five years ago with the goal of boosting the representation of persons with disabilities, people with physical differences, and trans and non-binary individuals.

Ella Singleton-Redmond, Zebedee's women's booker, believes that disability is frequently overlooked in discussions about diversity.

"We need to be representing those in our advertising," she said. "Twenty percent of our population lives with disabilities, visible or invisible, so we need to be representing them in our advertising."

"People are becoming more conscious of this and are beginning to change as a result." Our goal is to ensure that all types of media accurately reflect the population. "We still have a long way to go."

Down's syndrome is a condition caused by an extra chromosome that affects about 47,000 persons in the United Kingdom.

Although Down's syndrome causes some learning disabilities, the majority of people with the illness live long, healthy lives and attain average life goals, with an increasing number of people with the condition working and living semi-independently.

Britney Spears has stated that she is working on a book, confirming rumours in the US media that the pop queen was planning a new tell-all memoir. Spears announced the news in an Instagram statement on Monday night. The memoir, according to the singer, will address terrible moments in her life that she has "never been able to convey honestly." A judge ended a legal guardianship that had ruled over many parts of her life for almost a decade in November. When Spears suffered a mental health crisis in 2008, her father, Jamie Spears, placed her under conservatorship. He had complete control over her finances and career decisions, as well as crucial personal considerations like her visits to her teenage sons and whether she might remarry, thanks to the contentious arrangement. While the actress has remained tight-lipped about a possible release date or publisher, Page Six reported in February that she had signed a $15 million ($11.4 million) agreement with Simon & Schuster to ...

  n the aftermath of George Floyd’s murder, the phrase “Black Lives Matter” commenced to show up everywhere: on front lawns and back bumpers, on NBA players’ warm-up shirts in the course of pregame shoot-arounds, on gamers’ title displays when they fired up “FIFA 20,” on the tongues of longtime activists, college coaches, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah). On the chests of Black people declaring their humanity and White people professing their allyship. After former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of Floyd’s murder, Lisa Granade, a 40-year-old White woman, finally got around to placing up a signal on her property, in an overwhelmingly White Seattle neighborhood. Granade selected a black flag with a rainbow-colored fist clenched in solidarity, hanging it on a street-facing fence alongside banners assisting LGBTQ rights and opposing gun violence. And that’s how she ended up standing in the front of her residence getting yelled at and called a “racist” through another W...

A bullish US President Donald Trump has proclaimed a "new American moment" as he delivers his maiden State of the Union speech on Tuesday night.  In a primetime address to Congress, he told lawmakers: "There has never been a better time to start living the American dream." The Republican leader will say he is "extending an open hand" to Democrats to set aside bitter political division. The American economy is booming but Mr Trump's approval rating languishes. In an upbeat message a world away from the apocalyptic tone he struck in his "American carnage" inaugural address of just a year ago, Mr Trump said his administration is "building a safe, strong and proud America". As many as 40 million television viewers are expected to tune in as he implores the nation to come together as "one team, one people and one American family", according to excerpts released by the White House.

Gareth Southgate's man now face Italy on Sunday. England won a controversial penalty for a trip on Raheem Sterling and though captain Kane saw his effort saved by Danish keeper Kasper Schmeichel the striker was first to pounce on the rebound, slamming the ball home and sending followers into dreamland. Twenty tension-filled minutes later, the final whistle sounded and Wembley – and tens of millions watching at home – burst into a countrywide chorus of Neil Diamon...
