Emily is 9 years old and, as a model, she hopes to challenge the advertising industry to include people with disability. Emily has gone from asking her mum while looking through a catalogue, “Mummy why are none of the models in here like me” to appearing in them – she recently shot her first commercial advertising campaign for high profile Australia children’s brand Rock Your Baby, has appeared in advertising for Betts Kids shoes and premium children’s fashion brand Alex & Ant. She is also represents Pride Socks USA as part of their official Team.
Emily has Cerebral Palsy and she thinks it’s important to represent people with disability in advertising because “it’s who we are”.
We are proud to have Emily as an Ad Inclusion Ambassador. Each of our Ambassadors represents, through advertising imagery, Starting With Julius‘ inclusive vision of a world in which no one is excluded and everyone belongs.
