Hopeful and Humble
Hello!
I keep getting a notification about introducing myself, so here it is! My name is Lysander, but I also go by Wolfy. I am Northern Arapaho and Assiniboine. My pronouns are He/Him/His, I have been on T 💉 for 3 almost 4 years. I am kinda in between getting top surgery done. My tribe believes in not taking things out of our bodies, and I want to live as my ancestors did, freely.
Although I go by masculine pronouns, I am not afraid of feminine things. I do not believe I owe anyone a certain amount of masculinity or femininity.
I have started modeling in runway shows this year. Currently, I have done five shows and hope to keep improving in this field. My debut was at Big Sky Indigifest 2024 and Mara Tobeck, the designer of Afro Curvy Amazonia, selected me. I owe a lot to her for allowing me to get my foot in the door of the fashion industry.

In today's world, understanding one's identity can be a transformative journey. Many individuals, like me, seek to embrace a blend of masculine and feminine traits without conforming to societal expectations. My experiences navigating gender identity and cultural heritage as a Northern Arapaho and Assiniboine person have shaped my perspective on personal authenticity. Modeling, particularly in spaces that celebrate diversity like Big Sky Indigifest 2024, allows me to showcase both my heritage and individuality. It’s essential to recognize the power of representation in the fashion industry. As someone who identifies as androgynous, I believe that my journey is a reflection of broader movements advocating for inclusivity and authenticity. Each runway show I participate in not only marks a milestone in my career but also emphasizes the importance of diverse narratives that challenge conventional notions of gender. For those exploring their identity or considering their place in the fashion world, remember that embracing your unique self is a powerful act. It’s about owning your story, whether it’s through modeling, art, or personal expression. Sharing these experiences helps create a supportive community where everyone can feel seen and celebrated. Let’s continue to uplift one another in our journeys of self-discovery.
