My name is Modupe Omonze and I am the founder of Runway Dubai Fashion Show. Every year, we look for models from around the world that are inspirations to others and we include them in our show with their powerful messages. This year one of the areas we focused on was autistic people especially the children. We wanted to convey a message of inclusion for them as they have more opportunities in society. We called our message, Autism Wins! Natalie was recommended to me by designer, Tatiana Shabelnik. We were excited to have Natalie in our show this year. The fact that she is a model and an actress drew a lot of interest and we had very large crowds this time. Natalie opened both shows and was presented an award for being the most inspirational model of the year. She takes her work seriously and is very professional. She connected with the other models around her and never grew weary of all the requests for photos. She really impressed me with her speech that she gave to the crowd. She spoke with confidence and without fear! Natalie is a dream to work with and is such a joy to be around!
