Celebrating my 50th today! Began the day where I was born, Sinai hospital, in Detroit. My mother was a 15yr old child giving birth alone. Together, we lived a lot of places; the few years I walked this catwalk were those that sparked my love of teachers and school being my safest space. #❤️publiced
