Dispelling and Dismantling Myths: Checking in with Mama Cax

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be looking back at some of the moments, trends and community members who inspired us in 2016. Check #IGYearinReview for more.

A lot has happened since we featured Mama Cax (@mamacaxx) in #RunwayForAll, our series celebrating models who are redefining the industry, earlier this year. She’s visited the White House, started graduate studies and moved to France. “I’m taking part in a multi-country program in International Studies,” Mama says. “My ultimate goal is to work in the field of International Development while focusing on disability rights.” At the White House last September, Mama modeled in a fashion show that celebrated accessible design. “It was not only an honor to meet other trailblazers in the disability community but also great to see that the inclusion of disabled people is at the forefront of the Obama administration’s agenda,” she says. And Mama continues to share her adventures abroad with her fans: “I hope to continue to dispel beauty myths and dismantle the idea of what a disabled person can or cannot do.” #IGYearinReview
