October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month, and every year Ruby’s Rainbow shares the adventures of Ruby and her friend Nella to help bring awareness to just how awesome, capable and worthy people rockin’ that extra chromosome are!! This year, they are revisiting one of the first shoots they did in Detroit,  recreating some of the photos and talking about all the growth and changes they have seen in -not only Ruby and Nella- but themselves and society!
