About this item
by Willian Lima (Author), Michelle Lucas (Editor)
If you've ever doubted your worth or place in the world, The Runway Runaway will show you that purpose exists in all of us.
Willian Lima was born into an illiterate Indigenous family in rural Brazil, where there was no running water, no electricity, and barely enough food to survive. By twelve, he'd faced violence, malnutrition, relentless bullying, abandonment, and even lived through one of the world's worst radioactive disasters - the Cesium-137 incident. Hope wasn't just scarce; it was a myth.
Yet, as it turns out, life can write stories beyond our wildest dreams. By thirty, Willian was modeling for Valentino and gracing the catwalks of Europe.
Willian's transformation from street kid to international runway model is not about beauty and fame. It's about reclaiming worth and building that inner light that allows us to walk with grace through our darkest hours. It's about building self-respect and love for life until our light is reflected in the world.
The Runway Runaway will stir your soul. It will break your heart, build it back up, and leave you breathless with the truth that anyone can rise from the ashes.
