YAI’s Central Park Challenge (CPC) puts the FUN in fundraiser! And this year, it’s their 40th anniversary!!

CPC is New York’s biggest celebration of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) and it’s taking place on May 30th, from 8am to 12pm in Central Park! The event is FREE and you definitely don’t want to miss it!

YAI is an organization that makes sure people with disabilities don’t just exist, they THRIVE! And the Central Park Challenge is basically a giant party celebrating them! We’re talking a 3K walk, games, live performances, and the BEST vibes all around!

My favorite part? All the money raised helps fund YAI’s services and so they can keep changing the lives of people with disabilities for the better!

Head to CentralParkChallenge.org or go to the link in their bio to learn more about the big day. And if you can’t make it, you can still show your support by donating to their cause!!

I really hope you join YAI there. It’s going to be an EPIC time, I promise!! ❤️

Happy Mother’s Day to my fun, fierce, and absolutely iconic mom. My best friend, my biggest cheerleader for life, and the person who has shaped me into who I am today.

When I was born, doctors filled your world with a lot of negativity. They told you all the things I might not do and all the ways my life could be limited.

But you didn’t listen. You chose me without hesitation.

From day one, you saw something bigger for my life, even when others couldn’t. You raised me to believe in myself, to take up space, to go after my dreams, and to never let anyone else decide what I’m capable of.

You’ve encouraged me, supported me, challenged me, and cheered me on every step of the way. You believe in me even when I have a hard time believing in myself. And because of you, I’ve built the confidence I need to stand on my own.

You show up every single day, not just for me, but for everyone in your life. Your love and your strength is everything to us.

You give so much of yourself to the people around you, and today is all about celebrating you and the amazing woman you are.

I truly wouldn’t be who I am today without you to look up to and guide me in my life, and of course… in fashion too!!

I’m beyond lucky and so thankful to have such an amazing mom in my corner! And such an epic closet to steal all my most favorite outfits from!!

Everything I am and everything I’m becoming is because you never doubted me. So of course it’s my mission to make sure you never doubt how loved and appreciated you are!

Cheers to celebrating you, today and everyday!

Love you forever ❤️

Our differences don’t define us. But the longer we allow stereotypes to exist, the more we stay boxed in by society’s limitations!

It’s time to break down the walls that separate us and start building bridges to connect us instead!

Because let’s be honest, we’re all people at the end of the day! We all have our own likes and dislikes, our own strengths, goals, and dreams.

And no matter what our differences, we ALL deserve opportunities to live our best lives and thrive!!

I’ve had to deal with people assuming I can’t for as long as I can remember. When I was younger, it was hard not to let those assumptions get in my head. Thankfully, my family, friends, and support system always pushed me to try anyways. They believed in me, even when I had a hard time believing in myself. And with every challenge I overcame, my confidence grew, giving me a little extra for the next dream I wanted to chase!

I wouldn’t be where I am today if I had listened to the people who doubted me. And I couldn’t be more thankful that I didn’t! Now, when I hear “you can’t,” I say, “I can, and I will!” Just like my mom always taught me ❤️

No matter what our differences are, I think we all go through this in our own ways. Whether it’s people around us, or our own self talk, I hope this post reminds us to do the thing anyways! Keep chasing those dreams and proving people wrong! We’re all capable of so much more than we realize ❤️

I LOVE getting to mix up custom 21 Questions mocktails with the bartenders at Fairmont Hotels & Resorts. They know how to make something that feels SO me. This spritz was made at The Fairmont Century Plaza in LA after my epic interviews with Kam Saunders and Mae Martin!! Spending the night at their bar collaborating and celebrating really was the best ending to a perfect shoot!! Get the official recipe below and let me know if you're going to try it in the comments!

The 21 Questions Fairmont Century Plaza mocktail:
2 oz. Non Alcoholic Spritz
1 oz. Passionfruit Syrup
Non Alcoholic Rosé
Ice
Gorgeous garnish

Disabilities don’t define us! They just give us a different perspective on the world. And I happen to think that should be celebrated ❤️

Friday sass coming in hot 💅💁‍♀️

No body’s going to break our stride 🥰 Happy Monday everyone! You’re going to crush it this week, I can already tell ❤️
