Nashville’s Disabled Fashion Ambassador and Changemaker Extraordinaire. Executive Director of Nashville Nonprofit Fashion is for Every Body

Read MoreI have spent entirely too much of my life being anti-social.It's not that I don't like people - okay, I dislike some people - but that's not the real problem. My dilemma has always been twofold.
Read MoreWe blog because we want to share a part of who we are with the world. Our fashion sense, our knowledge, our life experiences, are what we pour onto our posts in search of validation and commonality. It's become my mission to show you my passions expressed in my town with my physical limitations at my stage in life. That includes fashion and trends and giveaways but also a steady push towards social awareness and acceptance of the disabled.
