Hi, my name is LaQuantis Morton, and I’m a service-connected disabled U.S. Army veteran. I am honored to have been selected as a featured model along with my body paint photographer Cynthia Fleischmann.

Bold Beauty Project, an international art initiative that celebrates the strength and beauty of women with disabilities.

On November 8, 2025, we both will be showcased at the Amy Foundation Gala in Cape Town, South Africa. The Amy Foundation empowers children and youth in under-resourced communities through education, sports, and the arts — transforming pain into purpose.

This opportunity is deeply meaningful to me. As a woman and veteran living with a disability, I want to show others that disability — visible or invisible — is not a limitation. By shifting our perspective, we uncover new abilities: creativity, resilience, and confidence. Through art, I hope to help others see their beauty, strength, and limitless potential.

✨ Your support will help cover:

• Accessible airfare and travel expenses for me and my caregiver

• Safe, wheelchair-accessible lodging and transportation in Cape Town

• Exhibit and event participation costs

Every donation, no matter the size, helps make this dream a reality — allowing me to represent our community on a global stage of inclusion and empowerment.

Thank you for believing in me and helping shine a light on beauty without limits while supporting a cause that breaks cycles of poverty and violence through art and education.

With gratitude,

LaQuantis Morton
