bit.ly/2MhhNUo So excited to say my @TEDx talk is now live on Youtube! This was a huge deal for me and you may be able to tell how nervous I was but to be able to stand on a stage and talk about scars, the media, and negative perceptions was a total honour! #FaceEquality

Happy Halloween Folks! Here's a wee anti-Halloween campaign I took part in, shot by the fabulous @Ceridwen_Hughes "Kintsugi Beauty is a contemporary response to the Halloween trend of mimicking scars with makeup and prosthetics." boredpanda.com/kintsugi-beaut…


Just flicking through trying to find #Halloween crafts to do with my nieces when met with scars as a ‘costume’ Won’t be telling them to be scared of scars thanks. Please get with the times @JaneBullDoll @dkbooks @FaceEqualityInt #FaceEquality

We're done with outdated stereotypes! #Hollywood, it's time for authentic #Representation of facial difference. Can you think of any more examples? Drop them in the comments & be sure to sign our #Petition calling for change. 👉 chng.it/5jXzgBfnGd #FaceEquality

Researchers at @CAR_UWE are looking for people to take part in a survey about craniofacial surgery. If you are an adult with a craniofacial condition, they'd love to hear from you. Your anonymous responses will help improve psychosocial support for others undergoing surgery.

Telling viewers that disfigurement = scary directly leads to bullying, hate and marginalisation of the #FacialDifference community. Join our call to Hollywood to cease exploiting FD. Press Statement: bit.ly/3q3k0HX #TheMotherOnNetflix @JLo @MishaGreen

And this is why we need #FaceEquality week…

Release of #TheMother @netflix during #FaceEqualityWeek shows total disregard for the pain caused to the #FacialDifference community by another facially different villain When will Hollywood stop telling children #disfigurement = evil? @JLo @MishaGreen shorturl.at/uFQW5

Find out the tagline for #FaceEquality Week here…

And the tagline is... Here our CEO @PhyllidaSwift shares more about why we are focusing on counteracting #Stigma this #FaceEquality week. And not just that, she also announces the all-important tagline for the week. Watch the video now to find out!



Disfigurement does not make someone a villain. Nor does it have to make someone ‘vulnerable’ or an outcast. Today we challenge #Hollywood to better represent and include us. Please join our call for #FaceEquality

In the wake of yet another awards season where positive #Representation of #FacialDifference was almost entirely absent, we’ve put together an #OpenLetter and Position Paper to call upon the entertainment industry. 👉ow.ly/7xzm50NmnIA
