As powerful as it is to be in front of the camera, there is something even more profound about having a seat at the table. April, Maya, Allison and I shared our unabashed truths with @anthropologie about fashion, adaptive fashion, representation, and equity and we were really heard. It has been incredible to see how Anthro has taken our advice and put it into practice in a way I’ve never seen a brand do. This trip, this launch, and the friendships made along the way are so special. Seeing “adaptive” alongside “standard,” “petite,” “tall,” “plus,” instead of relegated to a separate page, has been such a win in itself. With each job, I’m constantly thinking about how it will shift fashion for the disabled community. And this one feels so good!

There are some moments that are indescribable because you couldn’t even fully dream them. Seeing three visibly disabled models on these walls felt like magic realism. Through this campaign people have commented with so much joy and excitement while others have commented with discomfort and anger. That is how I know this is a big moment, beyond myself. True change is never gentle or easy ❤️

Thank you @fashioncanada for this beautiful article written by @nataliemichie ❤️ I’m forever grateful to be able to push for the changes my younger self needed and the disability community deserves! Read the full article in this month’s @fashioncanada May issue and on AppleNews now ✨

Recently I heard someone say, “The 30s are all about curating the life you truly want to live.” To do more of what you love. To remove the things that no longer align. And the more I embrace this season, the more beautiful it seems.
