Told yall we had some 🔥✨ Whenever me, @christeddypaints and @disabilityfashyionstylist get to collaborate we are always looking to push the envelope and create new narratives through photography and style. So this time we chose to create our version of what a @calvinklein campaign would look like because we love the classic black & white aesthetic and their portrayal of intimacy. Then this image (Slide 2) of #markwhalberg & @katemossagency and the recent campaign with @idriselba & @sabrinaelba popped up and we said “Oh yeah we’re doing this, but lets do it our way!” I hit up @iknowlay because he’s been modeling forever & knew he would give that energy we needed. And baby we did just that. 😝🔥✨ #MyCalvins #fashionmonth #modellife #fashioninspo #calvinkleininspired Photographer/Director: @crv_productions Stylist: @disabilityfashionstylist Model: @iknowlay Hair: @braidsbylorine Brows: @browsbymarina_ Did we nail it? ⬇️

What true inclusion looks like 🤣 If yall not having fun with your disabled friends like this, then stay away from us. If yall only knew how much fun @newjackcinema_ and I actually have we’d have our own reality show. 🤣 This ceiling trend was our first one and we killed it. ⬇️ DROP A COMMENT & TAG your fave person to be ridiculous with. 🤪
It’s really not that difficult. 🤷🏾♀️ Just have the conversation, learn so you never forget, and grow from the experience . Because once you consider people with disabilities’ needs it’s better for EVERYONE
July said “face card does not decline” 😊 Normally I rarely try and take selfies because my arms aren’t long and I feel like it doesn’t give the full frame effect that I want a selfie to give.🤣 but I don’t know if it was the braids or being on vacation for so long inspired me to attempt selfies. Either way, I love what it delivered. 🤷🏾♀️❤️

Physical Therapy with @risehealthcaregroup has been a true game changer because of this machine called The HAL. Look at my progress after ONE session! This machine is great for people who have had strokes, spinal cord injury, have cerebral palsy, MS and MORE! I can’t wait to share more about this device with y’all! ⬇️ DROP A COMMENT if you want to see a part 2!
And who said walking again was at the top of my prayer list? 👀 And who told you that I couldn’t walk at all?! People have no idea how deeply rooted ableism is. That even in church and believers rush to the assumption of the type of prayer/healing a disabled person needs. Now I’m not saying you can’t offer a prayer up for disabled people but if you’re going to walk up and assume that getting out the wheelchair is what I needed to be prayed for – then it’s clearly an assumption because you didn’t even ASK what I might want to be prayed for in the first place. Maybe I’m dealing with something that has nothing to do with my disability ever think about that? Brands used: @fentybeauty @tiltbeauty @hudabeauty @makeupforever @lauramercier @mentedcosmetics

You can’t limit, minimize, or play with me 💅🏾 I’m on a mission and I have a purpose. Take any judgemental energy somewhere else.
Remind yourself of who you are. Thats the responsibility you owe to yourself to build unshakeable confidence.
I promise you it’s possible
Being a black woman with a disability is not easy, but wherever and whenever we can pour into ourselves to feel beautiful and confident it deserves to be shouted out to the world 🫶🏾✨ #fashioninspo #selflove Fragrance by: @octaviamorganla
