Before starting the Runway of Dreams Foundation in 2014, Mindy spent 20 years working in fashion as a designer for the INC collection and as a stylist for Saks Fifth Avenue.   Mindy was inspired to start Runway of Dreams after her son Oliver, who has Muscular Dystrophy, dreamed of wearing jeans like everyone else. After using her design skills to adapt jeans that met his needs and increased his confidence, she went on to conduct extensive research as to the modifications required to mainstream clothing to meet the needs of the largest minority in our world- people with disabilities.

Facing the diagnosis of cancer was like being hit by a freight train. The world as I knew it came to a screeching halt. But as I navigated through the fear, the pain, and the uncertainty, I discovered something profound. I discovered myself. Cancer, as strange as it may sound, became a gift. It stripped away the superficial layers of my life and forced me to confront my own mortality. It was in this confrontation that I found a deep, unshakeable love for myself. I began to appreciate my body, not for its appearance or its abilities, but for its resilience, its strength, and its will to survive. I found purpose in my journey. I realized that I am here to live, to experience, to grow, and to contribute. I am here to share my story, to inspire others, and to make a difference in whatever way I can. I am here to honor my existence and to live my truth.

We often forget to give ourselves the credit we deserve. We’re so quick to focus on our flaws, our mistakes, our shortcomings. But what about our strengths, our talents, our unique abilities? Each one of us is a masterpiece, a blend of beauty and imperfection. We’re “flawsome,” as you put it, and that’s something to celebrate!

Are you acknowledging your own awesomeness? Are you embracing your unique gifts? If not, then it’s high time you do! Maybe you’re still on that journey of self-discovery, still peeling back the layers of who you truly are. And that’s perfectly fine. The important thing is that you’re on that journey, that you’re seeking to understand yourself better.
