TOLEDO—‘America’s Next Top Model’ star Leah Darrow has gone from top model to role model for young women. She discusses chastity and modesty with parents and their daughters at 7 p.m. Nov. 9 at Notre Dame Academy, 3535 W. Sylvania Ave.

‘America’s Next Top Model’ star Leah Darrow is to speak to parents and their daughters Nov. 9 at Notre Dame Academy.

Ms. Darrow’s presentation encourages everyone to realize their call to greatness, discusses the importance of chastity and modesty and reflects on God’s mercy, forgiveness and the ability to change your life.

Ms. Darrow describes herself as a “prodigal daughter.” Her inspirational message for young people discusses bad choices, missed opportunities and choosing a comfortable life versus an extraordinary life. All this changed during one special photo shoot in which she gained the courage to change every aspect of her life. Her story is one of conversion, courage and fortitude, making her a Christian role model for young women.

Ms. Darrow graduated magna cum laude with honors from the University of Missouri in St. Louis with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and is pursuing a master’s in pastoral theology at Ave Maria University. She is a full-time staff member of Catholic Answers, working in both the apologetics and chastity departments. She travels the world promoting the message of modesty, conversion and the mercy of God.

The presentation, which is free and open to the public, is a joint community presentation by Notre Dame Academy and St. Ursula Academy. For more information, visit www.nda.org.
