A WOMAN with Down syndrome has used her flair for writing and drawing to launch her own clothing line. Grace Key may have been born with Down’s syndrome, but she was also born with creativity and sass that has enabled her to launch a cute clothing line and a modelling career. The 20-year-old from Calhoun, Georgia, is spreading positive messages through her brightly coloured t-shirts, which state phrases like ‘Be The Light.’

I went to high school, my senior year, with Grace. She’s a sweetheart
Mum: it started with her wanting to be fancy
Grace: famous
😂😂
Awesome! She's a really pretty girl & I'm so happy she's able to overcome the things that would typically keep other people down. 😊
Ender41948 H lol keep other people DOWN

This family is the sweetest. Grace is an amazing artist and her proud Mama is nothing but supportive! Love these women so much 💙💛
Kudos to Grace! 👏👏👏
Thank you Grace for being the kind of person that believes in helping others & I'm so happy you have the type of family that supports your endeavors. 😊
Hi 😹

I love her confidence and a little sass😀
She’s so gorgeous and talented! God bless her! :)
Good for you, Grace! We're proud of you for expressing yourself and making the world a better place!
okay but why is the mum the only one doing the talking? I would like to hear it from the girl and not only her mum.
She's hard to understand...
Or maybe her mum made her, and she wouldn't be where she is with out her mum making her and getting her to where she is.
Maybe she had speech difficulty, my cousin with down syndrome and she nly talk in words not sentencess.
Asmaa Raess that might be the case of course! did not think about that. if it has with Graces own comfort to do
it’s totally understandable.
not going to lie though. first
thing that came to mind were all these mothers who have children/grown up children with autism so they therefore think they’re now the spokesperson for the whole autistic community, telling other verbal people with autism/aspergers and even media eeeeverything about how a life with a neuropsychological diagnosis feels, without having it themselves. those people take focus from the real voices
somehow. I just don’t want that to be the case.
I didn’t really hear much questions even yes och no ones asked towards Grace. like if she’s happy about her new clothing line etc. it could’ve been an option to let
her answer (again if she wanted to and felt
comfortable) and then let her mum handle it with repeating the answer and adding a bit
more to it perhaps? like “yeah,
you’re happy aren’t you?” and a some more. I don’t know. maybe text? there are a lot of options.
@@inamorata242 I totally agree with you I felt the story about the mother and their daughter being with down syndrome is side story.
I'd consider it more of a t-shirt line than a fashion line. But still it's awesome and good for her! Anyone I've met with down syndrome are super intelligent, idrk what can be wrong with them besides some developmental problems. Maybe they struggle to learn a bit, but they're more normal than people ik without disabilities.
@A Z I love pudding XD
@A Z Don't be a jerk! Not all people with a developmental disorder have the same issues. Like autism. Some need extra help but others will flip you off for suggesting they need help. Some are in between.
Her name is so appropriate to her outlook and personality
She brings Grace to her life💖💖
THIS STORY MADE ME SMILE
What a pretty girl & so talented! It’s so wonderful to see the opportunities available for people who are challenged. It’s not all rainbows and unicorns but it’s way different than even just a few years ago. Some folks just aren’t comfortable talking “in front of “ what will turn out to be many people. She may also be concerned people won’t be able to understand her. But she’s an amazing young woman and regardless of whether it’s a fashion line with only caps & T shirts you never know where it can go. Big names inspire big dreams!
She’s a great model and so pretty!
Grace reminds me of my daughter, all gestures and sass. I just went to her site (5-2020) and she has some neat designs. She seems like she'd be a real hoot to hang out with!
She is so freaking cute. I’m glad she’s able to do the things she loves.
Keep your head up Grace! Don't let anyone get you down! Always remember your beautiful.
This one is awesome! Such a sweetheart, so heartwarming!
I was looking for Grace Strobel and stumbled up on an Amazing Grace! This world is so blessed to have 2 angels ready and willing to do their ever perfectly. This is great! Many Blessings!
Brave like Lion with soul like Angel :)
Joshua Brinkhuizen how rude!
What a beautiful Mom and Daughter. Can see the love!
I really appreciated🤗 watching this Beautiful young lady create a way to express herself and share with others her inter beauty and talents❣️God bless you Grace✝️
~Congratulations to Grace on the fashion line I'm so very happy and excited for her.~
My sister has down syndrome and I love her so much she means everything to me even though sometimes she's a little bit (tiny bit) annoying I still and always will love her and this girl is just like my sister bc my sister loves to put on makeup so cute!
She's lovable with a witty attitude to go with it. Grace has a bright future ahead of her and a loving mother by her side
This is just so wonderful to hear and see! This really makes me happy, and it just warms my heart. My younger brother has Down Syndrome, and it’s just so wonderful to see what others with Down Syndrome are doing. Anyone can do anything when they put their mind to it!
She's BEAUTIFUL. A work of art.
They are one of us just like anyone else love her she is the sweetest sassiest little number. So creative so beautiful you're such a good mom
I love her. What a great attitude about life. We’ve all been given lemons at some point in our lives. Make lemonade! 🍋
What’s not to accept about her? She’s beautiful! Love your art Grace!
This child is so loved and loveable and loving!
It's so great to see that and she is the way she is because of her mom and family. She believes in herself and has self confidence..Grace maybe we can do a picture together.
I’m definitely getting the blue lemonade shirt.
Beautiful story & girl. Good for her. Embrace differences & show true potential. Don't let labels define or hold you back. We all only live one life & are different.
She is so amazing, I am so proud of her 😊
I have autism and a lot of people say I can't do things and won't be the "normal" child and can't succeed at life just cause my "issues" will get in the way. seeing her and how she has succeeded with her fashion line has inspired me. thank you
I love this!! I have a girl in my grade with Down Syndrome her names, Ava and she is so loving, funny, and kind! And this video really shows that everyone is capable of doing anything!! ❤️❤️
Grace's art work is creative. I hope that some money raised is being secured for Grace's future. ( Ie living accommodations, medical etc. )
It is important to remember that all children born with Down Syndrome have a variety of skills and needs. ( health issues, such as heart condition, lung issues etc. communication issues ..such as non verbal, hearing issues, comprehension issues, cognitive levels etc) Raising children born with Down Syndrome and as well as all children can be both be rewarding and challenging at times. ☺🤗🙄😄🤔
Beautiful and inspiring you go girl👏
Grace you are the epitome of beautiful inside and out! You are such an inspiration to me! Keep on shinning Ms. Sunshine!
She is beautiful!! She is just an angel on this earth spreading love ❤️!! God will always bless you GRACE !! 😇
Grace you make an amazing model and you’re such a great artist 💕
Grace may be different but you are realist sweetie don't ever let negative things people say effect you at all, you are a force to Wrekin with gods child.. Wow this is such a wonderful way to give back and she expresses her self threw her art... What a beautiful young lady... God bless and grace speaks low and seems shy so her mom knows what she is trying to say
I have been following Grace and Candidly Kind on instagram for a while now and I just love her. She is hilarious and talented and always positive. She takes great pride in her work, both her painting/clothing line and in her modeling and her makeup posts are my favorite! Thank you for including Grace on your channel! Keep positive and keep sharing! Someday the dialogue surrounding people with disabilities will change!
Emily Snider ❤️❤️❤️
her every utterance lowkey sounds like snapping at people
That's just how she talks dude?
'say it'! lol
Mom: “Fancey”
Grace: *famous*
She's so sweet and talented! How can anyone possibly dislike this
Proof that you too can overcome adversity if you are from an affluent family... the fake fawning is ridiculous. Good for this girl but screw all the ridiculous adoration.
YES!! If she was born to a regular family none of this ever would have been possible.
@@pinkpugginz Well maybe not "ever"... plenty of amazing stories like this... they just don't get the media coverage a white affluent "pretty" family gets. did you see the cousin/friend (couldn't tell the two apart) "I've been doing her makeup since she was..." UGH
Eric Estes at my high school we have a girl with Down syndrome on my cheer team. She is so good. Her mom told us she goes home and practices flying. She is also super sassy which makes me love her even more.
Both Grace and her mom are so beautiful.
I want a pinch of her positivity!💜
I love the lemonade print specially. I can imagine there being like sketchbooks etc. with these cute designs
This is such a great story. Everyone has worth and potential and can do something awesome with the right support and encouragement. It’s so sad that even 50 years ago, her parents would have been encouraged to institutionalize her and been told she would never amount to anything. I’m so happy people with disabilities are now encouraged to shine their light.
Awesome!! I love!! She's so beautiful and creative!
Keep livin ur best life 😄u go girl😄
Awesome story. You can tell where she gets her beauty from!
Can't believe how rude & shady she treats her sweet mother... But her cousin is absolutely stunning wow 😍💓
I have a cousin that has down syndrome and I think people should be aware that they are also human just like us and we should be respectful they are so sweet ❤❤❤❤❤
@@Rebeccapearson37
Having disabilities doesn't mean you get advantages and can be whatever you want. Work hars and achieve your dreams
So insperational. I love the tee shirts. 😍
Absolutely beautiful! Show the world you make us sparkle! ❤️❤️❤️
She’s absolutely precious. I Hope she becomes an Extremely big Writer and Artist one day.
Awesome story. I'm going shopping to buy one of those t shirts.
LOVE THE VIDEO YOU DOING AMAZING JOB KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK I HOPE IT ALL GO GOOD FOR YOU

She's a feisty little one!! Love her attitude!! She's truly beautiful!

Keep it up! Love this!
She is actually very preety! And her creativity! I love this girl!❤👍
Amazing! Real Family dose the best, Support here so much!❤️🔥🙌🤝
*She does really well.*
She can paint better than I can and I'm a graphic designer.
Time for you to find a new career then....
@@crazycanuckmick lol good thing graphic design has little to do with painting and are you saying her paintings aren't good you heartless bastard!
@@phatdookie4207 well they aren't the best...
@@HallowHolic art is subjective. The best is different from person to person.
@@phatdookie4207 Yes, art is subjective. So people have their own opinions. They're not a "heartless bastard" If they don't favour her paintings.
welp...... I already know what i'm doing after this video!!!! BUYING ALL OF HER SHIRTS!!!!!!!
Malia Reese ♥️
when i’m older, i wanna make a modeling business that models people with disabilities, certain health conditions that affect their life and how they look/ live. idk, it’s an idea i’ve had for awhile but idk maybe when i’m could actually make it happen.
I Love her!! She’s so inspirational and beautiful. I would have loved to hear more from Grace than her mother. She dominated the interview.
my best friend!! i’m so proud of you girl!! i love you so much and i always knew you had a talent in yourself you could accomplish!!!💓💓
Why the thumbs down? She's amazing.👍
Ok can we just take a moment to realize how GORGEOUS this girl is??!!!!❤️❤️❤️
you telling me that toads are attractive
@@joshuabrinkhuizen8906 why do you have to be so rude?
Thank you so much!!! As human living in this world this let me feel very grateful and I love your way to be
I love it! I would love to buy crop top or tank top versions of those shirts the art is so beautiful 🤩
~Grace is very artistic and creative.~
“Hey love bug!”
I love that 😄
A Queen 👑
So proud of you! Keep chasing your dreams. Thank you for being the best, most supportive little sister. You always show me what’s important in life. I love you so much!

She's incredible! Definitely checking out her website.

She’s so beautiful! So much confidence I’m inspired! Sending love from Oklahoma! 💖
“Born different” isn’t everyone tho
Eww Chris Ok but everyone isn’t born with one more chromosome lmao
why are people being so critical ? i genuinely think grace is beautiful inside and out and she’s an inspiration !! keep up the good work
She’s beautiful and so inspirational I love her glasses and the t shirts she makes are brilliant
Am I the only one who noticed that the *model* was ignored by her mother?
Would be nice if you a link to her website in the discription
Joe McCranie I wish they had as well! It is www.candidlykind.com/shop/
@@carriekey9090 Thank you Carrie.
SO EXPENSIVE OMG 28 DOLLARS FOR A T-SHIRT
Miss Jessi thank you! ♥️♥️♥️
@@LuckyMe24-7 Seems like all CZcamsr merch is high. Not sure why. It seems like they would sell more if the price matched what most t-shirts cost. I'm going to get one from Grace either way. She's cool enough for me to spend a little extra.
Wow her makeup skills are amazing!!! Beautiful girl !
shes super beautiful, and really inspiring! i hope she has a very succesful life
I love her art, very unique and interesting. She is sweet girl, no hate please:)
She's kinda cute but her attitude - especially towards her mother - f'n stinks.
That isn't "sass" and it's definitely *not* cute.
Stop sugar coating it because she has downs.
I thought I was the only one that noticed
Ppl with down syndrome are usually stubborn. And they love having attention. I had a twin sister who had down syndrome. They are pretty shy sometimes and can look like they're nasty. Don't judge them by just seeing them through a lens infront of the camera. And u have no idea about the amount of love they have and show towards their mother.
Mick this is what i noticed, her attitude is terrible! And people keep calling her sweet!
Tavina Sivapalan no one said shes constantly horrible to her mum off camera. It was Just when her mum was talking she kept making little comments and the way she was telling her mum to shh at the end. When she does something like that the mums just says things oh she’s so sassy. It’s not sassy it’s a bit rude yes I know she has a disability but her mum would let her get away with murder. Obviously I don’t know them personally but the mum seems like the kinda parent that just can’t say no 😅
+Tavina Sivapalan of course they're not like that towards strangers, family have to tolerate the attitude cos they have no choice, especially her mum. Don't say people with Down's syndrome are stubborn. That personality trait is not exclusive to just them. Don't try to add that as part of her fucken disability.
Grace, you are amazing;-) you go girl. Sending love xx
And you make me smile whenever I watch or look at your pictures they’re so beautiful
thats a noice house
