For the upcoming Break Free NYFW showcase, our guest speakers include Christine Jeberg from BigVision, who will be giving a Narcan demonstration on the runway, and, Alexandra Nyman, the founder of the Break Free Foundation.
Performing on the runway will be body-positivity advocate Elle Baez, and Boi Angel. Elle is known for empowering and inspiring others through her captivating hooks, body-positive music videos, versatile writing style, and motto of self-love. Elle just recently dropped her new hit single “Fuego” which was featured in Rolling Stone!
As a songwriter, Elle has also been featured by the Grammy’s, and has opened for charting artist Bea Miller, went on a VS Pink Sponsored Tour, and will be opening for Leah Kate this October! Boi Angel is a fresh face to the music scene as well as being in recovery. With nearly a year under his belt, Boi Angel can be described as a breath of fresh air in the alternative R&B/Rap/Pop scene, and he is quickly becoming one of the most exciting and dynamic artists in the genre. With his unique voice, innovative production, and thoughtful lyrics, Boi Angel is definitely an artist to watch in the coming years.
