Meagan Nash, an American mother, sent images of her kid to the children’s apparel manufacturer Oshkosh B’Gosh in the hopes that he would be picked as a model. Despite meeting all of the company’s height, hair, and eye color requirements, her kid was not chosen owing to his Down syndrome.

The Nash family, who live in Georgia, were overjoyed when Oshkosh B’Gosh launched their model search. Meagan, overjoyed, sent in photos of her 15-month-old son, Asher.

But the feedback she received was discouraging. Even after following up with company representatives, she discovered that Asher was not selected for their future campaign due to his particular needs.

When she heard the words “we don’t want a baby with special needs,” it struck a cord with her. She was agitated. Sure, not every child can be a model, but to reject her son just because he has Down syndrome?

Meagan believed the company overlooked the unique benefit Asher could have brought. She resolved to act as a result of her dissatisfaction.

She posted Asher’s images to a Facebook group for children with Down syndrome. The photographs, taken by Crystal Barbee and showcasing Asher in a blue denim shirt and bow tie, quickly went viral.

She also wrote to Oshkosh B’Gosh, saying, “Let’s make a difference – share so they see Asher!” This adorable child is ready to teach the world what it actually means to “Change the Face of Beauty.”

Asher’s images had gotten hundreds of thousands of likes on Facebook at the time of the story.

In the post, she stated, “We are partnering with the Changing the Face of Beauty organization and attempting to persuade Oshkosh to consider Asher for their advertisements.” She emphasized that Asher had been rejected by a modeling agency, not Oshkosh.
