✨ MEET MONIKA MYERS
Monika believes that every woman is beautiful. In 2022, at just 14 years old, she became Canada’s first runway model with Down syndrome, a milestone that launched her into the global fashion spotlight. From Toronto to New York and Paris Fashion Weeks, Monika has redefined beauty standards and proven that courage and confidence shine brightest on every stage.
Before her very first runway walk, Monika was asked on live TV:
News Anchor: “Are you nervous?”
Monika: “No.”
News Anchor: “Why not?”
Monika: “Because I am Brave and Beautiful.”
That moment became the spark for her initiative:
I AM BRAVE AND BEAUTIFUL.
Her mission? To empower others, including you, to embrace their own strength, uniqueness, and worth.
Monika’s journey is a beacon of inclusion and inspiration. She’s been featured on television, radio, and in magazines worldwide, as a voice for individuals with both visible and invisible differences. Her story reminds us all to believe in ourselves and lead with kindness. A vibrant reminder that art has no limits and kindness is always in style.
The Brave & Beautiful Zip Pouch is perfect for keeping your essentials like keys, lip balm, or phone organized in your favorite HD Crochet bag or tote.
🌟 All proceeds go directly to the artist.
A beautiful way to carry a little joy — and a whole lot of heart.
