The New York Fashion Week is the first story because Kathryn felt like she was such an underdog and didn’t believe in herself. After putting in the work, she obtained something that she thought was so out of her reach at the time. She wants others to know that they can get whatever they want, but you have to put in the work, hours, and dedication to get there.

Her second story that’s impacted her life is her nephew’s death. She has become more positive and strives to constantly create a better version of herself. She is choosing to run a marathon for him. Rather than letting this experience shape her in a negative way, she’s using bad experiences as fuel to make her life better. If you start with anger, it can be channeled into something positive and impactful.
