Zebedee
By Denise Humberstone (UK, mum of 3, blogger at troynize.com)
Around 15 per cent of the world’s population, or an estimated 1 billion people, live with disabilities. [World Health Organisation, 2020]. Not only are they the world’s largest minority, but they are also the world’s largest underrepresented minority in the media and fashion industry. Zebedee, a talent agency unlike any other, is determined to set that right and reframe the meaning of beauty.
