IMPACT IN ACTION: CTFOB CHANGING THE GAME

Changing the Face of Beauty is thrilled to acknowledge and thank premiere national brands American Eagle and AERIE for including models Rajee Aerie and Chelsea Werner in recent advertising and media platforms!

Rajee, an up-and-coming model and actress, was first featured in Changing the Face of Beauty’s exclusive “Couch Series” video platform. Watch the video here. She described the lack of representation and active pursuit of models with disabilities in casting for modeling and acting jobs.

In addition to modeling, Chelsea is a 4X US SPECIAL OLYMPICS GYMNASTICS CHAMPION and 2X WORLD CHAMPION. Her life story was featured on the “Today Show”.” She’s filmed an international campaign for H&M in Havana, Cuba and also walked in NYFW in September 2016 and LAFW in October 2016. Chelsea is looking forward to advocating for more inclusion in the Fashion Industry in 2018 and beyond!

With an annual discretionary spending power in excess of $200 BILLION, and with 90% of consumers preferring brands who align with causes that matter to them, American Eagle and AERIE are leading in efforts to impact lasting change and mutually beneficial opportunities for both the disability community and brands alike.
