## Resource

In this episode, we take listeners behind the scenes of one of DSACO’s most joyful and empowering annual events: the Uniqu3ly 21 Fashion Show . This isn’t just a runway – it’s a celebration of confidence, self-expression, and community. Our models, all self-advocates, step into the spotlight and show the world what inclusion truly looks like. To help us explore the heart of this event, we’re joined by Amy Douglas , a dedicated leader who has helped shape the fashion show into what it is today. Amy walks us through how the event first began, the inspiration behind it, and how it has grown into one of DSACO’s most beloved traditions. She shares her personal connection to the show, the powerful moments that keep her coming back, and the emotional impact it has on families, volunteers, and the broader community. What We Discuss We talk with Amy about the origins of the Uniqu3ly 21 Fashion Show and how the idea came to life. She reflects on the early vision for the event and how it has evolved over the years as more participants, sponsors, and supporters have become involved. Amy also shares memories from past shows, including the unforgettable moments that highlight why this event matters so deeply. Listeners get an inside look at what it takes to plan a show of this size, from choosing themes and coordinating venues to working with models, volunteers, and families. Amy describes the teamwork, creativity, and problem-solving required to make the evening seamless and meaningful. We also look ahead.
