Mother Challenges The Perception Of Disability With Stunning Photos Of Her Daughter | I Acknowledge

Katie Driscoll from Palos Park, Illinois has been on a quest to change the face of beauty.

It all started with the birth of her daughter. Already a mother of five boys, Katie was overjoyed to have her first girl. When she found out that her daughter had Down syndrome, her happiness didn’t falter. Katie said:
“I didn’t want people to feel sorry for her or for us because I was proud of who she was.”
After Katie’s daughter Grace was born, the proud mother started to take photographs of her. The photo collection eventually turned into blogging Grace’s pictures to a bigger audience, which led to a full-fledged campaign called Changing the Face of Beauty, a campaign that urges companies to include photographs of those with disabilities in their ads.
