Video Description: Bri Scalesse, a fair-skinned white woman with chin-length brown hair, moves in a wheelchair onto a sidewalk. A terracotta backdrop appears behind her as studio lights spotlight her. The video moves back and forth from this set-up to footage on the streets and sidewalk: Bri runs her hands through her hair, smiles, and poses for the camera in a variety of locations. Throughout the video we see close-ups of Bri’s hands and face as she speaks and various pictures of her modeling.
