Lilly Alfonso giving an award to Xandria for her outstanding work
While she could have chosen to take a different route in fashion instead, she took it in her heart to come up with a brilliant to start an event that is inclusive. Mainstream fashion excludes people with disabilities in their campaigns, fashion shows, etc. But she thought carefully to include the least thought when it comes to fashion. It takes determination, discipline, a clear vision, and a big heart to put aside personal ambitions to lift someone up and put a smile on their face. That is why Lilly Alfonso gave Xandria an award in recognition of her exceptional work and contributions to the fashion industry in Malawi.
