The mother of Asher Nash was perplexed as to why a number of child modeling agencies had rejected him.
The child had Down syndrome, yet despite this, he was an intelligent, likeable, and compassionate boy.
So he had all the necessary characteristics. On social media, the mother aired her frustrations.
A well-known children’s clothing firm soon after surprised her by approaching her and handing Asher a contract.
Like many mothers, Meghan Nash believes that her child is a miracle whose smile can brighten any space.
Given the young Asher’s photographs, it makes reasonable that Meghan contacted many modeling agencies.
Meghan was shocked and outraged when she began receiving agency rejection letters one after another.
Asher’s Down syndrome was the easy explanation. As it turns out, the organizations exclusively ask youngsters with special needs to participate in commercials for products and services geared toward such kids.
Since these children aren’t on the database, representatives of the companies are unable to even evaluate them as prospects.
For kids with exceptional needs, conventional advertising and the media were inappropriate venues.
After that, Megan decided to change that. Megan created a Facebook page for Asher and began sharing a lot of his pictures there in an effort to draw attention to the way that “special” children’s rights are violated in advertising.
When Meghan contacted the well-known international kids clothing manufacturer OshKosh B’gosh, Asher was offered as a model.
The world quickly learned about Meghan Nash’s open letter. Soon after, OshKosh B’gosh executives contacted her.
The letter appreciates you for your efforts to guarantee that children with special needs are represented in advertisements on behalf of our firm.
In the future, “we, for our part, plan to ensure that such youngsters participate in our advertising initiatives.”
The firm representative’s statements weren’t just empty platitudes. To take part in the upcoming OshKosh B’gosh advertisement, they made Asher an offer of a contract.
Meghan insisted that she had no plans to turn her kid become a supermodel.
She only desired for him to develop in a society in which he would be accepted as a member of the community.
I simply want him to be viewed as a person, not as a person with a disease, she adds.
