A modelo norte-americana Mara Martin foi destaque no desfile da revista Sported Illustrated, que ocorreu no último final de semana, em Miami (EUA). Isso porque ela cruzou a passarela apresentando um biquíni de lamê dourado enquanto amamentava sua filha, a pequena Aria, de 5 meses, que estava com fones de ouvido para se proteger do barulho do evento. “Qualquer um que me conhece, sabe que esse sempre foi meu sonho”, falou a modelo ao comentar a experiência.“Não acredito que eu e minha filha viramos manchete por algo que faço todos os dias. É irreal, para dizer o mínimo. Sou tão grata em poder compartilhar esta mensagem e espero que se torne mais comum o ato de amamentar em público e também mostrar que as mulheres podem fazer tudo!”. O desfile teve como tema diversidade e colocou na passarela modelos de diferentes tipos físicos – entre atletas, plus size e pessoas com deficiências físicas, além de mulheres com histórias inspiradoras, como soldadas, medalhistas olímpicas e sobreviventes do câncer. Wow! WHAT A NIGHT! Words can’t even describe how amazing I feel after being picked to walk the runway for @si_swimsuit. Anyone who knows me, knows it has been a life long dream of mine. I can’t believe I am waking up to headlines with me and my daughter in them for doing something I do every day. It is truly so humbling and unreal to say the least. I’m so grateful to be able to share this message and hopefully normalize breastfeeding and also show others that women CAN DO IT ALL! But to be honest, the real reason I can’t believe it is a headline is because it shouldn’t be a headline!!! My story of being a mother and feeding her while walking is just that. Last night there are far more deserving headlines that our world should see. One woman is going to boot camp in two weeks to serve our country (sorry i don’t know your IG handle ♀️), one woman had a mastectomy (@allynrose), and another is a cancer survivor, 2x paralympic gold medalist, as well as a mother herself (@bren_hucks you rock) Those are the stories that our world should be discussing!!!! Just thinking about all that was represented there... I desperately need to give the most thanks to @mj_day for this. She supported me in what I did last night. Without her support this wouldn’t even be discussed!!!! She and the entire Sports Illustrated family are the most amazing and incredible team to have worked with. THANK YOU for letting all 16 of us be our true selves, strong beautiful women!!! Because of you, my daughter is going to grow up in a better world, where she will always feel this way!!!!!! Lastly, to every single woman that rocked that runway with me. Be proud. I know I am of you! You all have inspired me in ways unimaginable. I love you all!!! #siswimsearchUma publicação compartilhada por Mara Martin (@_maramartin_) em 16 de Jul, 2018 às 8:32 PDT-Imagem (1.1575441)-Imagem (1.1575440)-Imagem (1.1575439)
