RUNWAY FOR CHANGE

This is more than a fashion show—it is a movement centered on disability inclusion, accessibility, representation, and unity.

Azalia Mallory and Jamaal Johnson have united their foundations to create a space where fashion meets activism, celebrating the vibrant energy of adults and children with disabilities alongside Chicago's creative leaders. We are breaking barriers and redefining the runway to ensure that style is a right, not a privilege. Our commitment to accessibility ensures every individual can engage with our message clearly and effectively.
