WHAT IS THINK OUT, BE LIGHT?

The Think Out, Be Light Fashion Show is about showing up fully, and making sure no one is left on the sidelines. We champion disability inclusion by creating a space where differences are visible, valued, and celebrated.

As Dallas takes the global stage during the World Cup, TOBL meets the moment, celebrating Disability Pride Month and redefining what it means to belong in the spotlight.

CALL FOR MODELS

On Thursday, July 9, Think Out, Be Light returns for its 11th annual inclusive fashion show.

This year, we are opening the runway to models across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex as part of a World Cup-inspired celebration of style, confidence, movement, and belonging.

We are looking for 21 models with disabilities, visible and invisible, who want to show up fully as themselves.You do not need modeling experience. You do not need to speak verbally. You do not need to fit a traditional idea of what a model looks like.

You just need presence, personality, and a willingness to be part of a beautiful cultural statement.​

If you'd told me 10-years ago that from this idea, this event, we'd find a community, I wouldn't have believed you. But we've found just that. And now, there's no turning back.
