Most of you have probably seen our video star on television or in a magazine. Asher Nash, who is 18 months old in this video, is a cute and camera-obsessed youngster who was a few years ago one of OshKosh B’Gosh’s faces. But he was about to lose this fantastic job. This film tells the story of Asher, his family, and his community coming together to create a wonderful message.

Asher has Down Syndrome, you see. Because Asher enjoys being in front of the camera and is one of the cutest toddlers in town, his mother, Meagan, wanted to have professional photographs taken of him and submit them to a modeling agency. This sweetheart had to be picked up for something, didn’t she?

There would be no calls, as it turned out. Meagan eventually decided to inquire about the situation with one of the agencies. They informed her that Asher’s photos would not be submitted because no companies specifically requested photos of children with special needs. What exactly is going on here?

Meagan couldn’t see the logic in this — Asher, as you can see, is a future star — just look at his excitement in the photos. As a result, Meagan made the decision to act. She believed that modeling should be available to all children, regardless of disability.

Asher’s Allstars was born. Asher’s family and the community banded together to draw attention to this precious tot and the discrimination he and other disabled children face. Meagan received a phone call that would change everything.

Meagan was overjoyed to hear from OshKosh B’Gosh after only expecting a phone call. Asher’s mother wanted to show them photos of her son and express her disappointment that companies were not receiving information on disabled child models. OshKosh B’Gosh not only agreed with Meagan, but they also wanted Asher to be a model for them.

This prompted a shift in advertising: employers began collecting information on all qualified individuals, regardless of whether or not they had a disability. Asher and his family have had a huge impact on the world of child models.

Asher has already gone on to model for Babies R Us, and we’re sure he’ll be seen in a lot of advertising in the future thanks to his fantastic effervescent demeanor. Watch this touching story about a mother struggling for his son’s best interests and the incredible success of her objective. Asher is a charming young man.
