What began as a childhood love for doodling clothes, coloring, and exploring art grew into a powerful journey in fashion, design, and entrepreneurship. After years of developing her creativity, BreeAnna continued her education at the International Academy of Design and Technology, where she graduated in 2012 with a degree in Applied Science. Her journey did not stop there. She continued learning more about fine art, graphic design, business, and brand development, allowing her to expand her gifts into multiple creative spaces.

Although she did not initially have much experience with the disability community, she stepped into this opportunity with an open heart and a willingness to learn. She dedicated hours to researching disability inclusion, adaptive fashion, and how clothing can be designed to be more accessible, comfortable, stylish, and empowering for individuals with disabilities. That dedication speaks volumes about who she is as a designer. BreeAnna did not just accept the assignment — she embraced the mission. She took the time to understand the importance of representation, accessibility, and dignity in fashion. Her willingness to grow, listen, and create with intention has made her a meaningful part of the Runway of Change team. We are proud to spotlight BreeAnna because her work shows that fashion can be more than clothing — it can be confidence, freedom, expression, and inclusion. Through her creativity and commitment, she is helping bring the vision of Runway of Change to life in a powerful way.

The Movement in Motion At the intersection of disability, faith, movement, and design stands Stay Up for the Runway of Change—a platform built to redefine visibility, access, and representation. Rooted in lived experience with a spinal cord injury and cerebral palsy, this initiative challenges outdated systems and creates spaces where people with disabilities are visible, active, and centered. Fashion is used not as decoration, but as a vehicle for advocacy, dialogue, and positive, progressive change. Through inclusive runways, accessible design, and community engagement, the platform elevates conversations around mobility, wellness, movement, and belonging. It reflects leadership that is embodied, faith-driven, and forward-thinking. Mission Statement Stay Up for the Runway of Change exists to create positive, progressive change within the disability community by using fashion as a platform to advance accessibility, movement, wellness, faith, and disability-led representation. Vision Statement The vision is a future where fashion is fully inclusive, accessibility is standard, movement and wellness are encouraged for people with disabilities, and representation leads to lasting systemic change. Values Faith in Action Faith guides the work, grounding the mission in purpose, integrity, and service. Movement & Wellness Adaptive movement, exercise, and physical wellness are essential to empowerment and independence. Access with Intention Accessibility is built into every experience, not added later. Visibility with Purpose Fashion and storytelling are used to elevate voices, shift perceptions, and inspire action. Disability-Led Leadership People with disabilities are centered as leaders, decision-makers, and innovators. Positive, Progressive Change The work is forward-thinking, challenging outdated narratives and advancing inclusive solutions. Community & Connection Lasting change happens through collaboration, shared responsibility, and connection. LEADER / FOUNDER Jamaal Johnson Jamaal Johnson is a faith-centered leader committed to positive, progressive change within the disability community.

Jamaal is the founder of the Stay Up Foundation, an organization deeply invested in positive, progressive change, particularly in the areas of adaptive exercise, inclusive movement, physical wellness, and forward-thinking approaches to disability inclusion.

His belief in God informs how he leads, serves, and advocates, demonstrating that meaningful progress happens when faith and action move together. LEADER / FOUNDER Azalia Mallory Azalia Mallory is a disability advocate, founder, and leader whose work is grounded in faith, lived experience, and community empowerment. She lives with cerebral palsy, a physical disability that affects her mobility and speech, and she is a wheelchair user.

Her leadership challenges outdated narratives and promotes authentic inclusion across spaces that have historically excluded disabled voices. Faith is central to Azalia’s work.
