"At the young age of 12, Ms. Tadfor's left leg was amputated and replaced with a prosthetic leg. Her disability eventually inspired her to form the Ceci Tchakounte Tadfor Foundation, which strives to raise funds to provide crutches, wheelchairs and prosthetics to disabled residents of Cameroon and Nigeria.

In the coming years, Ms. Tadfor intends to devote more focus to promoting her foundation and eradicating the harmful stigmas that continue to impede the daily lives of disabled individuals around the world."

If you've yet to spot the attention-grabbing artwork on Google's homepage, now is the time to bask in its glory — and to read about the star of the illustration, Haitian American model and disability rights activist MAMA CAX.

Mama Cax was born in 1989 in Brooklyn, New York, as Cacsmy Brutus, but spent her childhood in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. At only 14, Mama Cax was diagnosed with two separate forms of cancer, which eventually led to the amputation of her right leg as a teenager.

Thus began a long journey of body acceptance for Mama Cax, focused primarily on her disability and the appearance of her new prosthetic leg. Eventually, Mama Cax began embracing her disability's outward visibility and donned her now famous brightly-painted prosthetic pieces.

By 2017, Mama Cax had made a name for herself in online fashion and body positivity spaces, and would sign her first advertising campaign with Wet N Wild cosmetics that year. Over the next two years, she'd land several more campaigns, be on the cover of Teen Vogue(Opens in a new tab), and walk the New York Fashion Week runway.
