We Can't To We Can Presents An Inclusive Runway Fashion Show

We Can't To We Can founder and President Trinity Jagdeo, discusses the non-profit organization for families with disabilities that she founded at the age of 18. Trinity spoke of her friend, Alexus and how her battle with Spinal Muscular Atrophy, also known as SMA, revealed to her the lack of opportunities and role models her friend had. She began with a series of ‘superhero’ books based on kids with disabilities and developed it into a foundation that today promotes representation and inclusion through her books, presents local events and offers financial support to families. She talked about their signature programs, a swap service where families can exchange outgrown medical equipment and their bi-annual fundraiser, Including You! Runway at Pfleeger Hall at Rowan University. This year falling on July 26, the 35th anniversary of the Americans With Disabilities Act, the event features stunning runway performances with both able and disabled models wearing national brands and adaptive clothing, a live DJ, a red-carpet experience, special guest appearances, exciting prizes, and the official launch of their groundbreaking superhero book series spotlighting real kids with disabilities.
