On International Day of Persons with Disabilities, she shared this picture of her modelling for Parfait and wrote: 'A state of mind has so much power. Remember that when you think of a negative comment about yourself or others. Start changing that and no one will see a 'Disability person' but just, a PERSON.

She says it is important to remind yourself that you are beautiful just the way you are.

On her 22nd birthday, she posted this picture from a few years ago and shared her little story transformation.
'This photo shoot started it all,' she said.
'A year before this photo was taken I barely knew the understanding of accepting yourself. I lost a lot of weight compared to then and now. I definitely know and can see a difference. But that's only growing up and going through life's roller coasters. I've lost friends this year, rekindled old ones, and made new ones.''
Who cares want everyone else wants, it's what YOU WANT.  The life I wanted has already begun, and it's just beginning,' she shared.

Dru joined Instagram in 2012 when she was only 16. Today, she is on her way to have her own line of clothing.
