Jillian Mercado

Jillian Mercado (born April 30, 1987) is an American actress and fashion model represented by CAA (Los Angeles). As a wheelchair user (due to muscular dystrophy), she is one of the few professional models who has a visible physical disability in the fashion industry. A prominent figure in the new wave of models challenging beauty ideals in the fashion industry, Mercado is keen to fight the lack of representation of people with disabilities in the fashion industry and their enduring stigma.
