Steve Harvey Talk about a full-circle moment! ❤️

I was scrolling Facebook tonight when I got tagged in a post from our friend/former publicist and I couldn't believe what I was seeing...

Steve Harvey had reposted Timmy's Little Big Shots appearance just ONE DAY AGO! 🤯

Watching this brought back so many incredible memories. That experience helped shape Timmy's confidence, professionalism, and love for performing.

Today, those same experiences inspire the work we do through Beyond The Runway™.

That's exactly why we created BTR.
We want more young people to have opportunities that help them discover their confidence, find their voice, and gain real-world experience—whether it's on stage, on camera, behind a microphone, or simply learning to believe in themselves.

Every big dream starts with one opportunity.

Today, Timmy is helping mentor the next generation through Beyond The Runway, and I couldn't be prouder of the young man he's become.

Be Confident.
Be Creative.
Be You.
Beyond The Runway™

🎬 Lights. Camera. Confidence.

At Beyond The Runway, we're not just teaching kids how to perform—we're creating opportunities for them to experience what it's feels like to be on set.

From hair and makeup to cameras rolling, learning their marks, following direction, and getting comfortable in front of the camera, every production gives our kids hands-on experience in a fun, encouraging environment.

Our latest project? ! 💕👑

The kids had an amazing time bringing the campaign to life, and we loved watching them grow more confident with every take.

A special shout-out to Timmy, who did a fantastic job stepping into the director's role, and to newcomer Trinity, who jumped right in as our salon apprentice. They both were awesome!

And because no production is complete without a little behind-the-scenes comedy... 🤣
While setting up, one of our sweet residents, Debbie, decided she needed the pink robes! We spent nearly 30 minutes searching for them before finally reviewing the security footage... only to discover Debbie had quietly relocated the robes in another resident's room. When I asked her to help me find them she told me no, because SHE needed them! 😂😂😂

Moments like these remind us that the best memories aren't always in the script.

This is what Beyond The Runway is all about—learning, laughing, creating, and giving kids experiences they'll never forget.

💛 Be Confident.
🖤 Be Creative.
✨ Be You.

🎉 WE DID IT... BEYOND THE RUNWAY HAS OFFICIALLY LAUNCHED! 🎉

What a day we had… If I'm honest, this week threw just about everything it could at us. Timmy was battling food poisoning and tonsillitis, I was fighting a sinus infection, and we had very little time to prepare. Even on event day, we faced challenges getting families into our secured building.

BUT WE KEPT GOING…And what happened next was nothing short of amazing.

Our very first Ready. Set. Slate! workshop was filled with laughter, learning, and confidence. The kids were fully engaged, embraced every activity, and even had fun trying our new TikTok-inspired exercise!

One of my favorite moments was giving everyone a sneak peek at our Beyond The Runway Kids Podcast. The stories, the laughter, and the excitement were unforgettable—and before long, the new kids were asking if they could be interviewed too!

Then came Timmy's hilarious story about performing Michael Jackson's Thriller at four years old. He caught a glimpse of himself on the giant screen beside the stage and spent the rest of his showcase performances watching... himself! 😂 Needless to say, the room was in stitches.

We wrapped up the day with cake, ice cream, and an EPIC dance battle! It was Tineka C. Kids vs. Timmy. They were going round for round, and just when Timmy thought he had them, Alyssa shut it down with a cartwheel into a split—and the biggest smile in the room!

I don't think I'll ever forget it! 🤭🤣🤣
Yesterday wasn't about perfection.

It was about showing up.
It was about confidence.
It was about community.
It was about believing in our kids.
Beyond The Runway is officially here... and this is just the beginning. 💛🖤

Thank you to Everyone who came and helped out, brought your children to meet and gave us grace to work out our kinks. Your love and support is so greatly appreciated. Welcome to the movement!💕
