Brooklyn based blogger and model, Caxmee, who proves that you can defy the odds and still be beautiful and confident, regardless of your physical attributes. She was born in Brooklyn in 1989 but was raised in Montreal & Haiti. At the age of 14 she was diagnosed with bone & lung cancer. She was given 3 weeks to live but beat the odds, and had her right leg amputated. Today she walks with a prosthetic leg along with two forearm crutches.
She models head wraps for designer Famndijam, makes affordable and fashion-forard prosthetic leg covers for men and women and is also an ambassador for Alleles Design Studio.
Caxmee, 26, shares her style and traveling on her instagram.
In an interview with blackgirllonghair, she said:
”I haven’t been too content about the mainstream imagery of beauty. I’ve made it my personal mission to infiltrate the “beauty industry”- Walking down the street with crutches and a prosthetic leg, people often shout “you go girl! you’re still beautiful” STILL?…. I AM beautiful and I’m here to show you how beautiful I am inside and out.”
Who says you can't? Let them know you can live-up to your dreams.
Never say never.
Never say it's not possible
