I AM HUMAN

Celebrating Female Empowerment, Diversity & Inclusivity

Seen on Style Me Pretty & Wedding Sparrow

About this editorial by Natalie Hewitt:

“I am a mother to two young children and I hope my grandchildren grow up in a generation that celebrates diversity; who never knew this world. A generation who don’t see two men holding hands and take a second look; who just see two people in love. A generation who doesn’t notice a plus size model on a billboard and congratulate the brand for finally representing them; all they see is a model. Where religion is only seen for its peace and love; it is not tarred by the acts of extremists. An era where men and women are treated as equals. Where police brutality and racially motivated violence is only talked about in the history books.

I am acutely aware I don’t know the pains and struggles of oppressed groups within society, but I support them in their fight for equality. I define people by their character, not by their race, gender, sexuality or religion. We need to see people for their talent, kindness, and morals; we must celebrate their uniqueness and individuality, not negatively highlighting their differences. And we can only achieve this by discussing, educating and promoting kindness, acceptance and understanding.

I do not see this editorial as a diverse group of people, but simply incredible models and creatives who I am proud to collaborate with. We all have different skills, backgrounds and appearances, but we do all have one thing in common, that unites us; we are all human!
