Luxury parked outside. Model energy all night. 🏎️👠✨

Such a beautiful evening with Porsche x McLean Living but the real moment was watching my gorgeous friend absolutely kill the runway @officiallydira 😍🔥 She looked stunning, confident, effortless, and completely in her element. So proud of you, beautiful. You did THAT. 🤍✨

Meet Jordyn, 9yo designer of the Kids Dash Medal for the 2026 Race for Every Child, and her mom, Naadira Tinsley, Miss Black Upper Marlboro, MD who’s using her platform to raise awareness on neurodiversity. 💖Such inspirations!💖

Join us at this year’s Race for Every Child where, together, we’ll be helping kids feel better. 💖Link to join in our bio.

Jordyn is an official 2026 Race Ambassador 🙌

If you’ll be with team Eliana’s Light at the Oct. 17th race, we’ll be looking for them to give them big hugs and high fives!

Check out Jordan’s medal design on the coloring sheet! She then kindly colored in the sheet that says “You all are winners!” and showed it to us when her mom and I were talking. One of the many examples of how sweet and talented Jordyn is.

She is a remarkable young girl, in part for how far she’s come after brain surgery at 2 months @childrensnational. Beyond designing this medal, Jordyn loves designing clothes, performing, and putting on shows. She already is a superstar 🌟

What makes me happy? Moments like this. 🫖🌸✨ Dressing up, slowing down, sharing meaningful conversations that uplift and inspire, and having the opportunity to pour into other women.
I’m so excited to join @famebehername__ for @confidenceistea where I will be leading a session on walking with confidence. Reserve a spot for yourself or the special young women in your life! 💖
