Walk to Equality

A night of empowerment and elegance, Walk to Equality lit up the Oak Room at Cinnamon Grand Colombo on the 19th of May 2025. Organised by Former Mrs. World Caroline Jurie in collaboration with The Walk Model Academy, the event championed inclusivity and self-expression under the powerful theme Life Without Labels. The runway celebrated beauty in all its forms; across ability, gender, and identity, welcoming a diverse lineup of models. With strong community support and a sold-out crowd, the evening marked a bold step toward a more accepting 
Sri Lanka. A celebration not just of fashion, but of freedom and dignity for all.
