Walking the runway isn’t just about the fashion – it is about taking up space, challenging norms, and reminding others that they are seen and valued. It’s about empowering the next generation to dream, to fight, and to live unapologetically. It is about living the history that deserves to be celebrated.

Approaching mid-runway I tugged my blazer sleeve – left first, then right. As the blazer came off I heard a roar! My pace and purpose steadied. Pivoting at the end of the runway for my walk back it started to sink in. A smile washed over my entire being. I DID IT! I REALLY did it! How I didn’t raise both arms in celebratory joy is beyond me.
