I had so much fun joining @laureus_usa these last few days for their #sportsforgood Fashion Gala in NYC alongside some very special guests! Laureus USA is a grant-making, nonprofit organization that supports the growth and deepens the impact of programs that use sport for social change. Sport certainly has the power to bridge gaps between communities, bring people together, inspire and teach invaluable lessons to each of us. I know my life has been forever enhanced by my own participation in sport and I’m grateful that Laureus is working hard to give other young people that opportunity, as well. • In the first of these photos, I’m proud to be wearing a dress by the incredible @mimiplange. Ghanaian-born, Plange has been awarded numerous accolades, including International Emerging Designer of the Year in 2011 at Mercedes-Benz Africa Fashion Week. Over the past 10 years, Plange and other emerging talents have received support from the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Talents (MBFT) Program, which works to provide the current and next generation of creatives with international exposure at key international fashion platforms. • Thank you @laureussport for having me and for celebrating the power of sport. I’m very excited to see the tremendous impact your work will continue to have on young people in the US and around the world!

Thank you @Laureus_USA & @LaureusSport for giving our poet-athletes Ashely and Janelys the chance to trade in their uniforms for party dresses last night!
