As a disabled person Fashion gave me a voice in a world not built for me. Styling helps me express and empower others to feel the same.
What makes your style stand out?
My style stands out because I mix confidence, creativity, and unapologetic fierceness. I take fashion rules and turn them into my own story, making bold choices that express who I am. Beyond the looks, I represent people with disabilities like me—many of us don’t often get a space in the fashion world, and I’m here to change that. Every outfit is not just fashion, it’s visibility, empowerment, and a little bit of fun chaos.”
What’s your dream fashion moment?
“My dream fashion moment is walking a runway that celebrates diversity—where people like me, with disabilities, aren’t just included, but celebrated. I want to turn heads, make people smile, and show that confidence, creativity, and personality are the ultimate fashion statements
What would you do with $20,000?
If I win the $20,000, I’ll find an accessible home, get a 3-wheel electric bike for independence, and bring my mom from Puerto Rico to live with me. I moved 7 years ago for a better life, and Miami helped me grow and love myself. As a Wynwood Walls storyteller, I found purpose in community. My dream is “La Casita de Jon,” a safe space for art, fashion, and love—giving back to the community that inspires me.
