What does "in ways beyond my physical appearance" mean?
I started modeling when I was 16. The odds were against me. I was shorter than most girls in the business. Still, I gave it a shot, and like with most things in my life, I never gave up.
It took a while before I had stability in the business. I worked hard to be accepted by the fashion community in ways beyond my phsycal appearance.

I don't think it is very good English (I guess if she left school at 16 didn't help ;) as 'appearance' is not a 'way'.
But I guess her meaning is that she found ways to be accepted that made up for the fact that she didn't fit the normal stereotype for a model. I guess that might have involved things like professionalism, a good work ethic or, a sense of humour, all of which would help keep the clients happy.
