a look at her incredible johnny ah, on the racetrack charlie martin fights for every additional 2nd. the 40 year old british driver is also fighting for greater acceptance for transsexual people and the l. g. b t q plus movement as a whole, as the 1st trans woman to compete. and the 24 hours of limone race getting to the mom and achieving my go. sure when a d dot is a joy that because it's that it's the biggest thing i can think of doing. but equally, i want to do something that can inspire close to changing one. some one he's l g b c key plus making history at the greatest race in the world. it's it's good happened. she only then she drove her 1st race in 2004 at age 23 and a pu joe. her love of motor sports has only accelerated the

feeling of speed and pushing a south and exhilaration were very important things to me. and it's funny, i know it makes the read it like even as a child, she never felt truly comfortable in her own skin. i've white in the morning and see myself in the mirror and i just realized, yeah, i don't even have any connection with the person staring back at me anymore yet because i just, i didn't feel happy about how my body looks. i was very uncomfortable about my gender because i, i need fundamentally there was something wrong. but once in the driver's seat, she was in her element, most school was said, the right spot. it was like a half placed me. but that was at a point in my life when i grew up feeling very limited,

because knowing that was transgender from a young age, making me feel very limited in terms of my life options. it was like, you have to choose between being the person you want to be doing things, career wise, and so on and so on, that you want to half in your life. you can't have both those things. for the sake of her racing career, charlie martin suppressed her true self, but eventually she reached her limit. or what's the point in living if you're not living as you? and that was january 20 twelf that i, i decided a cake this year i'm going to transition she headed back out on to the track for the 1st time again, 9 months after her gender transition. scary thing. imagine a lot of people did i what was happening. so you know me or did notice neighbor, likewise there transpose here. fortunately, 7 or 8 of my clase finance,

i re sweet came either survey can you think hog i hey, how you doing? you may say it was enough for me to think i'm going to come back next spring and she picked up her racing career where she left off, but everything else about her life changed completely. she moved from lester to brighton to get active in the l. g. b t q was movement. in the meantime, she's become something of a spokesperson for it. i want to help other people find the happiness that i found in facilitating more inclusive environments where everybody can be that true authentic self. now she prepares for her race is harder and more persistently than ever before. after her gender transition,

her motor sports career really took off. i started my confidence and self belief that i'd never 9 and my whole life. and i think that had a huge impact. noticed on racing, but on so many levels on just how you think can function in it and then you know, live as a person. now, charlie martin has faith that anything is possible, even that she can become the 1st trans woman to take on the hitherto very male domain of the 24 hours of them all. 10, when maybe even as soon as 2023 from motor sports to stance. in a weird chip is another gap. see an inspiring story, living in a big city with all its streets, curbs and stairs can be challenging, especially for those who sit in, we're chairs, not able to place is accessible, but david li bullard doesn't see it that way. he uses his wheel chair like escape

bought and has even one championships in the still emerging sport. a real role model. one little spins grinds along the curb and alease of the food stamps, said he 5 year old david louisa, his most escape or to tricks on his wheelchair. move is a challenge, sometimes painful, voice, exciting, and was locked. but who, when you do something, you've tried a 1000 times before and you finally make it, it's such a mega relief, vague relief for me, one example as the hand plants and my it's always some trick. i've been trying for years up until i get it down half way and then finally pull it off perfectly. and that's what i did that one day deal fun. luckily there was a video of it and it was indescribable because at 1st i didn't even realize it. i just rolled away and thought to myself would exit. what was that? but what was that? and i tossed my helmet in the air. it was such

a mega joy. it's hard to put it in. we're in a service lab. david loses escape when he's with a nightstand and to schools. and he encourages others to give it a try, offering workshops and to his to other towns such as he and billy at the local hot spots. the skate buddhist struck. this stuff were a gun open. robinson. i'd really like to work towards making skateboarding and be a max riding and everything along those lines more inclusive. and so that they open up a bit more to others. because i don't think we need a wheelchair skating culture of its own, but rather more of an inclusive community thing. she also went into the business hosting for the spectacular stuff riding proschetti. she special reinforced and spring mountain wheelchairs. they can take even these kinds of punishment pick up if you start with just one step of course, then 2, then 3 and then 4 up. and now i can only over 4 steps pretty easily. if i v are a little to the right, it's a somewhat different story us david. lucy has been confined to

a wheelchair since page 21. when he fell down a stairwell, leaving him paraplegic was that i've had been doing this for about 14 years now. is that when my accident was 14 years ago, and while i was still in rehab, i started having fun trying things out in the wheel chair in various situations wall up and down as absent stairs. up and skating was the logical continuation mr. cause defense. and he has devoted himself to skating ever since he trying todd mastering stumps. he won the world championship in 2014 the gym and championship twice and place 3rd several times in other woo championships in the u. s. actually . candles week. i've been has got a flu shot, not all that hell bent on becoming a champion or winning a competition again. but when i am completing, i get into a frame of mind where i want to do my level best and give it a really good run. pretty all the and then i want the jury to appreciate it. accordingly, julie dusty was facing help with that of the wheelchair. much across society

organizes competitions. the will close up. will chest pains his came from leverage into the building. opens 1st contest after 2 he hi, his coolest by the pandemic. who age groups to pot and on the jury was none other than tank cookies as a whoa champion and twice jim and champion. he sits some things, an example for the youngsters. and not only in athletic one, if i'm not finding recently more than anything, i think it's important for kids in wheelchair to be able to have a role model who's also in a wheelchair to pick. not only can they copy the tricks they can copy many other things as well, like how i do everyday things and how i deal with certain difficulties that their parents often just fail doesn't need much money. but it's on off nice. did like conventional skateboarding uci skating is classified as an extreme sport. hardly anyone leaves the who he without bruises, that to guard against no serious injuries, especially round his neck. everybody was homeless and protected. keith, with the right equipment, even the youngest, can bring their excitement,

dedication, and to know to face to be what i've heard for them. it's really gratifying to see that they've given some thought to what they want to show off in the time they've gone through the stages. there's and they can present themselves. so i'd say the next generation for this board is a short report of the vision. it's a meeting experience for joining the bird in wheelchair skate. as the sun sunday goes down over alexander place. it's a feeling of being a part of something and seeing inclusion in practice. a great to an exciting day. they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but when you look at the ad campaigns magazines, runways, it often seems that only young women are considered beautiful. luckily that is changing. senior models also called 50 pluses and silver foxes are more and more in demand. the industry has severely discovered that diversity south

ah, this fashion shoot is taking place on the spanish island of my orca. but what you might not notice at 1st glance is how every model here is at least 50 years old. these senior models are also called best agers or silver foxes. hello, my name is hi camaro. i've been living here in the yoke for 2 years. i'm 69 years old and i'm a modeled. it's been an i to rush. could i live in my orca? i'm 80 years old and also work as a model or day. i'm 10, you castrati from gemini, i'm 53 years, and i went to some auto sylvia dick who had do v, v a from germany did the casting. she had the agency, the best age models, international, headquartered in switzerland and majorca. she established her agency about 20 years ago and recognized the 50 plus hers potential early on why it's best, it's more effort to have the key to success is

a 50 plus model is not being afraid of your age. i tell them where in the wrinkle business it doesn't like any good to someone to call me up and tell me i'm 60 but look 30. i always say them and then i might as well get a 30 year old. i won't muddle swim brace there. i don't see it look healthy and elegant, and his naturalist possible not to the hoover common, even on the covers of fashion magazines, seniority often doesn't seem to matter any more. there's great demand for charismatic actresses like 76 year old helen mirren from the u. k. 78 year old lauren hutton, from the u. s. and 87 year old british actress judi dench, these elegant seniors would have been considered old ladies back in the day. this year some strutted down the cat walk at mach cell. osa togs fashion show and a few are also customers of the fashion designer, as if kept him on awfully branford him, a lot of labels still madly pursue this youth craze and only send out young super skinny models on the catwalk can. but i think they're behind time,

i happened to say i am to present my fashion on people of all ages. there, after all people of all ages, lion water. this way you get a much better feel for how these pieces look on real women who actually stop by our store and buy these clothes. allison, those then young models do put on great shows, but they don't shop at our store. we through shop men to her, back to my yoga. 69 year old hike, m alpha is a former german t. v presenter. at photo shoots, the senior model often wears a gray wig to look older. but she doesn't think the youth craze is going anywhere anytime soon. god to do his ged, social media like instagram and really reinforced the youth, christ hudson gift. and i'm, it's still there's an alternative trend for she to accept diversity and little in affection here and, and i think we're should focus on that and not needing to be in athletics and mrs. oh,

not too harsh. sca is the oldest model on the saturday. she once worked as an architect, she wouldn't have dreamt of becoming a model at age 80 her secret to looking good. her i think sheep in good shape by taking a cold shower every morning in summer and winter. it really does me good to me. and it certainly seems to do my body good work. so that's one thing. and i also eat healthy and had never smoked, nor nico i, tanya casso, hottie has been working as a model for over 30 years. now. her attitude towards the job has shifted over time. i think when i started modeling, it ain't saying i was ambitious. i'd say if i didn't get a job back then i was disappointed and took it a bit personally and moment. but now if i go to a casting and don't end up landing, the job will then that's okay. i need learn to keep a current head and not get looked out awesome on the think. and i just wasn't the right time who still took that. so even if the appeal of youth may never disappear,

our image of beauty is changing to include more and more women who embrace their grey hair and wrinkles. our perception of beauty is changing is becoming more diverse and diversity is the focus of our show today. even entertainment like burlesque shows have become totally acceptable burlesque, which is more than just erotic dancing is quite a long history. it was always performed by women. but there are exceptions. tom hallo, for example, is a boy less for former? ah, for less have little end of the world to me and i'm very, very grateful for that. i've trained most to my life literally most of my life to be a performer. so it feels like home and it feels comforting and it feels like were

meant to be tough. i from the scottish city of glasgow had dreamt of performing on stage since he was a child. and now he travels the world as a burlesque artist and has won several prizes. my dream originally was to be a musical theater performer and i trains and dance and musical theater. and then all of a sudden i got an addition for a burlesque club in glasgow and then i went in addition, which was really cool. and ever since hand i've just been performing and burlesque and carbury taken my clothes off or 2nd, some shortens all the fun stuff. and yeah, i'm very lucky, i get to do what i love the most telescope, false erotic stage performances, and 1st appeared as a form of variety fit in the 19th century strip tease elements within added later

in the early 20th century. we have 2 sides in the berlin squirrels, the burlesque site, which comedy satire parity humour. and then the strict he's part, which is the taking off the clothes part. and teasing audience boiling this is phyllis performed by me. and ethan managed in 1990. this performance style is clearly defined to playfully test the boundaries with track. my inspiration comes from musical theater and old hollywood. so some of my favorite movie stars are muslim, enroll, and more than a teacher. judy garland, lies menilli, tamp, power for women. am aware that just being a guy, a doing a female art form, such as burlesque, says a lot for itself. so i don't need to see too much by

more. so we are that i'm a guest at the table of a female or form. so i need to be respectful of all the women that came before me increa this art form. tom harlow likes to take at least 2 hours of time to complete his transformation. and this is the most fun part for him. besides actually performing i believe that when you go and see a show of any kind, you should feel something, no matter what those that could be. that could be love that could be admiration by could be discussed. that could be fear good performance should make you feel something when you, when you've left and yes, mit you question to certain extent. and but it can just be for pure enjoyment. hollow performing school writing room in glasgow twice

a week. he shook combines boy lisk elements singer and, and i don't think you could be this heights and version of yourself the whole time. it was one be very annoying to mosul or people and gay in the way of normal life. but it does help you get through. tough times. i'm gives you a bit of a scale prism for me anyway, i'm fine to say enjoy my life. and that's exactly what tom harlow conveys, to his audience. derring my see. if his with ever tried cutting vegetables with your eyes closed on is it with a big knife? so where's my carrot? ah, okay. oh, i think this was maybe not my best idea, but i wanted to get

a feel for what it would be like to cook line. just like antonio chat to la will even run to go near restaurant in a small town in central italy, guests from all over the country and beyond. come to dine there and many don't even know that he's blind. how does he do it? ah, antonio chalk, the law can smell every single ingredient, although he cannot see, he can create the most demanding dishes. ah, good for me, it's not a problem that i can't see where because you can also see what their hand is. holy money. every morning the italian chef bakes his sour dough bread with sausage or cheese filling on board dominga shula. i never actually think about the fact that i can't see that i will completely blind rubber good on benzo my i feel like a normal person april. he said, no, i'm sure you're maybe it's because i so much enjoy preparing these great dishes,

higher courses, spend it, but it, but it is cuisine traditional italian with a dash of fantasy in the village of bell videos that in say, near the adrian coast, you will find his restaurant. lots have added mandojano, keep on the menu such dishes as minute for yet with pecorino. yaki with truffles or asparagus quiche with bacon. he hears if the onions for the spaghetti carbon ata give to hot and smells when the pasta water boils. you won't go, i feel with the work that the bacon is getting harder now. sticking a bit to the pan and slowly getting crispy. what i can smell and here in water. it, when it doesn't mean i'm better than other cooks. again, that is just more concentrated. ok, because i'm not distracted. i thought and rely completely on smell touches and hearing the thought, a thought as a young man,

antonio george de la was already working as a cook in his birth place near naples, along with his wife. he opened his own restaurant in bed, etta austin se in 2001. on new year's eve, 2005. he was hit by a firework in front of his restaurant and lost his eye sight. ah, he refused to retrain. returning to his kitchen to test out if he could still manage there as a blind man, troubadour, this dog if i noticed immediately that i could still handle the night and me a night as my frantic window he charla in the beginning, i often cut myself a but not any more gay and realizing that my hands could still handle the knife pretty well. gave me courage. i broken away, i learned quickly to belay and chop again your main dinner, and that's when i said to myself, if i can cut blind, then i can do other things to the doors. and he wrote a book about his story. it boiled in by the law, which means the darkness in the pan. when shopping,

his keen sense of smell and touch helps him to assess the quality and freshness of the ingredients and make the best choices with rich in the kitchen. almost everything remains as he last saw it before the accident. in the beginning, a cook would assist him. but in the meantime, antonio chuck the law, does almost everything on his own. again, his wife manolo mariani helps with some tasks. her husband, sudden blindness was a great shock to her in wonder for a world class. today. i didn't know where to start again. how to go on. everything had changed drastically. well, just thought was among the mean though, when with time you find a way you have to keep going got the, the me that a full, still with their children were born after the accident. antonio has never seen his sons. he doesn't only run a restaurant, he enters competitions,
