I really wish I was in New York this week to be a part of history in the making. Modeling for Carrie Hammer’s “Role Models not Runway Models” is 30 year old actress Jamie Brewer, the first model in New York Fashion history to walk the runway with down’s syndrome.
Carrie chose Jamie, out of thousands of applicants, to walk the runway. Her campaign “Role Models not Runway Models” has real women with real top of the line jobs showcasing her fashions. Jamie is a real role model. Active in the Down Syndrome community, Jamie is the youngest person with this condition to be elected president of the ARC of Fort Bend Chapter. She is not afraid to show the world just who she is and I feel others can look up to her.
I like writing about real things and Jamie is a true to life woman who has overcome her fears. She doesn’t let anything hold her back from following her dream. You and I shouldn’t either. She shows us that everyone is beautiful because its how you define yourself not how others define you. Jamie is a definite beauty and a real role model for all women. Great job Jamie! 🙂
