Nina: Determined, cheerful, and self-ironic.

Vanni: At 17 you lost a leg in a motorcycle accident—what’s your relationship with engines now?

[00:21]

Nina: Let’s say I’m working on it. Right now, if I hear a loud noise it still scares me a bit, but my next goal is definitely getting my driver’s license.

[00:31]

Vanni: You said that educating children about diversity is valuable—do you find it harder with adults or with kids?

[00:36]

Nina: With adults, because if we had educated children earlier, we wouldn’t have issues with the adults of tomorrow.

[00:43]

Vanni: Did the accident change things, or would Nina have become a model and content creator anyway?

[00:49]

Nina: The accident definitely brought out a part of me that helped speed everything up and made me the Nina I am today.

[00:56]

Vanni: Staying on the topic of diversity, today we’re going to do something a bit unusual—are you ready?

[00:59]

Nina: Not really ready, but let’s go!
