The Fashion-Forward Style Superstar
With an unmatched accessory game
Never spotted without her signature cat-eye glasses and vibrant earrings & accessories, she’s dressing for herself, and not to compensate for her disability or for people to overlook it. She doesn’t sacrifice style for function either.
Andraéa believes in fully expressing who you are without the fear of being judged—and doing it in style.
The Bold Activist
Relentlessly fighting for disability rights, justice, & culture
As one who’s intimately familiar with being “othered”, Andraéa doesn’t waver in her conviction that disability must be a part of wider social justice movements.

For Andraéa, access and inclusion is more than just ‘the right thing to do.’

“
In a world that was designed to be exclusionary…
Andraéa is making sure EVERYONE is seen EVERYWHERE
Andraéa’s advocacy goes beyond building an inclusive society.
