She reflected on the heartfelt moment in an Instagram post. \"I knew I was deserving of my dreams even if I was a mom and even if the world continued to try and tell us otherwise.

Spent the last 24 hours trying to put this moment into words, but I don’t think words would ever due it justice. So I’ll just say this... As a single mom, there’s been a lot behind the scenes that people never see to make my dreams a reality. I knew the moment I had my daughter that I had to fight even harder to show her that anything is possible. I knew I was deserving of my dreams even if I was a mom and even if the world continued to try and tell us otherwise. But here we are, in 2019 , walking a nyfw show TOGETHER and living our best lives ever! Never in my wildest dreams did I see this one coming. Thank you @beccamccharentran @gilleonsmith and the entire @chromat family, because that’s what you all are to me, family. This was one for the books. And to @justmejoselyn , you slayed that runway queen and I’m so proud of the young lady you’ve become. I can’t wait to see how you change the world. 🌍 💙 Also the last pic is mom life in a nutshell 😂😂😂 . 📸: @mlcoppola / GettyImages
