She also mentioned, how she ended up in this show. She said, “It was fun to do something new since I usually do more high fashion power walk. … This time I got to tell a story.” The people who encouraged her to fly with open wings were Noella’s parents, Dee and Ray McMaher. They believe that its their job to foster their kid's dreams, which also includes being an advocate for other trans kids.
Dee also explained that everyone needs to accept trans kids and said, “The fact that she has this want to be an activist and be visible for other trans kids, we know is just so important in a world that especially right now in our current political climate, that has so many things that are working against her - kids like her.”
Noella expressed to her parents that she was a girl when she was just 2 years old and her parents supported her in her journey. From her life story, she wants people to know that trans kids are no different from other kids. She said, “We were just born in the wrong body, pretty much. When we find out, we just switched our genders.”
Although she is very young right now and has not decided what she wants to become in future, her short-term plan includes walking the ramp of Paris Fashion Week someday.
