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 __________________________________________

Το μήνυμα της Ριάνα

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

A queen. A force. A powerhouse beauty that brought her strength to the @savagexfenty stage this year inspiring so many across the globe. Rest In Power sis ✊🏿😢 @mama_cax pic.twitter.com/Nq43DoJZb9

— Rihanna (@rihanna) December 20, 2019

Η ίδια η τραγουδίστρια μέσα από το Twitter της αποχαιρέτησε το μοντέλο γράφοντας: «Μια βασίλισσα, μια δύναμη, μια πανέμορφη κοπέλα που ανέβηκε στην πασαρέλα μου και έδωσε ελπίδα σε ολόκληρο τον κόσμο. Αντίο Mama Cax»

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 __________________________________________________
