Thankful Thursday - Edwin Camacho

By -
For today's edition of Thankful Thursday we are giving thanks and recognizing one of our first DiversAble Allies, Edwin Camacho! I first met Edwin at LifeHouse Christian Church, where he was an usher, always welcoming people and helping them find their seats. He was kind, quiet, and a bit shy. After officially being introduced to each other by a mutual friend, Edwin and I quickly learned that we share a love of movies and humor. A great friendship began!

Edwin is also a man of many talents. Not only does he carry himself with the utmost sense of fashion and style, but he creates his unique look for himself and others. There are many direct sales companies geared towards the wants/needs of women (because we have so many,) but Edwin specifically focuses on the modern, stylish man.  He hand crafts ties and scarves of all lengths, colors, and styles. His pieces are ridiculously affordable to your "average Joe." Don't worry ladies! He does include many unisex garments as well ;-)

Edwin has always supported me and my ever-changing goals. He has been one of my best CandI customers from the start and an avid proponent of this project. As soon as he learned about my call for DiversAble Allies, he jumped on board and offered to purchase a lovely lady a piece of CandI! He is a true DiversAble Ally through and through.

Thank you Edwin for all that you do and for the amazing person you are! Our gratitude will never feel like enough to demonstrate what your support means to us. Your acts of kindness and selflessness do not go unnoticed!

Please visit Edwin's personal store and show him some love  on Etsy. His store is called FormedbyECR. You can also stay up to date with his business by Liking his Facebook page with the same name.


Please consider becoming a DiversAble Ally today! Comment below or message me on Facebook for more details...

Tuesday Truth - Diverse Abilities on Screen

This is RJ Mitte.  He was in one of my favorite television shows of all time: Breaking Bad.  Mitte played the son of the main character, a teenage boy named Walter White, Jr.  Jr. is an interesting young man, who also happens to have cerebral palsy.  At first, I thought this actor was incredible, because his portrayal of a disability I was familiar with was awesome.  I'm ashamed to say, I assumed he was a typically abled person.  He's not, Mitte has cerebral palsy, and started his career in modeling! This guy is Sebastien Rene.  He played a severely disabled boy in the movies Starbuck and the American version, Delivery Man. While the disability this boy has in the movie is not labeled, I get the impression that his is a more severe cerebral palsy.  Rene's portrayal of disability was so impressive, actually, the producer, Steven Spielberg, wanted him to come back from the French Canadian production and reprise his role in the American film....

This is Amanda, my beautiful wife and the brilliant originator of the DiversAble Model Project!  This blog is an attempt to clarify some things, as well as provide an outlet for a coherent presentation of the DMP.  This is the place we will be showcasing both the models participating, as well as those allies that have stepped up and chosen to help empower these strong, fashionable women. The first model, and ally, whose profile we will be showcasing is the beautiful woman above and to the left!  As I've mentioned before, this is Amanda, and she has put in so much of herself into this project, you all deserve to get to know her better.  She's had a roller coaster ride of a life, full of ups and downs, but she's never backed down, she's never given up, she's never surrendered! Amanda was born in 1987, at a hospital that was then known as Our Lady of Mercy, one month overdue.  It wasn't until she was born that they figured out why.  Her disability made i...
