Biiftu spoke about people who inspired her to succeed, specifically her parents who immigrated from Ethiopia in 1983 with no education or job.

"They had the audacity to imagine something better for me and my siblings,” Biiftu said.

Jamal Abdullahi is Biiftu's father works as a custodian at the school and is extremely proud of his daughter.

“When children are achieving, it is a beautiful thing,” Abdullahi said.

Beating Breast Cancer on The Runway

** Most of us are either directly impacted or know someone affected by breast cancer. In recognition of this ongoing battle, OnlyGood TV will be sharing several stories throughout October, Breast Cancer Awareness Month, to shed light on how individuals and families are coping with this disease. This story highlights women who are owning the runway at #Cancerland to demonstrate that breast cancer does not define them. **

#Cancerland was started by Champagne Joy, a fearless survivor of Stage 4 Metastatic Breast Cancer, who desperately wished to change the world and create awareness for metastatic cancer survivors. Her goal was to have survivors walk the runway at Fashion Week in NYC and in 2017, she made it happen! Sixteen metastatic breast cancer models all wore AnaOno lingerie and lounge-wear designed specifically for women who have had mastectomies, breast reconstruction or breast surgery following a cancer diagnosis. Sadly, Champagne Joy passed away shortly after the 2017 Runway Show.
