A month ago I had the privilege of attending an immersion dinner event hosted by @lincoln where the Lincoln executive team was in attendance. #Ad Learning about the work that went into bringing the Lincoln Aviator to the public from engineering to design-producing a masterpiece with luxurious performance and effortless comfort. It didn't hurt that my dress matched the brown leather interior 😉 Disclaimer: Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring model shown with optional features. Available Fall 2019. ____________________________________________

Πηγές αναφέρουν ότι η Mama Cax πάλευε χρόνια με τον καρκίνο και νοσηλευόταν την τελευταία εβδομάδα στο νοσοκομείο.

On Sunday November 3rd I’m shedding all this divaness to hand cycle THE NYC marathon. I along with 50,000 people will take a 26.2 mile journey across the 5 boroughs. My bib # is 385- download the TCS NYC MARATHON APP and you’ll be able to track my every move the day of the race. I start at 8:52 am and if I’m idle for more than 5 min please assume I’m dead 🙌🏿 Big thanks to everyone who has supported me in this (@cafoundation @nyrr @rudygarciatolson) looking forward to the big day. #mamacax #nycmarathon2019 #teamcaf

H Mama Cax έχασε το πόδι της σε ηλικία 14 ετών από καρκίνο στα κόκκαλα, αλλά αυτό δεν την εμπόδισε να γίνει μοντέλο, ακτιβίστρια και blogger.

Mama Cax For @henning So many reasons why I love this picture. When I first came up with the concept of a chrome silver leg I wanted something that looked fluid using Zaha hadid’s architectural designs as inspiration. The first prototype didn’t quite workout so @alleles and I went along with a simple chrome silver cover. The idea was simple, in contrast with my leg cover that’s painted with chalkboard paint( which is meant to be interactive and inviting especially with kids- I give them a piece of chalk and let them go crazy)- this one however was meant to be mirror like and a reflection of days where I don’t feel like interacting with Strangers on the metro or answer the myriad of questions I get asked daily. I imagined standing in a field of flowers where the reflection of my surrounding would almost make the leg look invisible- but it never translated as such in real life .. until this photograph. I love how it looks transparent and mimics a jellyfish. After my amputation I had so much body insecurities, if my future self came up to me and told me that one day I’d transcend these feelings and start seeing my body as art, I would never believe it. A piece forever In progress yet art at every stage. #mamacax . (S.N : this is a flexible ankle by @ossur it allows me to wear heels up to 3-3.5 in) _________________________________________

Αγωνίστηκε μάλιστα απέναντι στον κόσμο της μόδας για να προσλαμβάνει περισσότερα μοντέλα με αναπηρίες για τα fashion shows.

Grandma Cax, Brooklyn circa 2019- this is my impeachment outfit but since they’re taking too long, thought I’d wear it. #mamacax __________________________________________

Είχε πρόσφατα εμφανιστεί στην επίδειξη μόδας της Ριάνα, καθώς η ίδια η τραγουδίστρια είχε δηλώσει πως την λατρεύει.

Any fun getaways this winter? Where are y’all heading?- I love a suitcase that screams “she has her life together” even though I always complete my packing right before heading to the airport. I tend to overpack because I like to have options but the International carryon is perfect for a 2-3 day holiday. I love that @tumitravel offers a solid shell, ample packing space – and if you’re the creative type you can also have fun decorating it with stickers 😉 #mamacax #perfectingthejourney __________________________________________________
