Linslade Changing Faces campaigner Katie Stanton, who has a congenital melanocytic naevus birthmark on her face, would like to see more people like her represented on TV and in ad campaigns to tackle the social stigma around appearance.
People with visible differences and disfigurements, including charity ambassador, Brenda Finn who lives in Hastings, are this week, Face Equality Week (15-19 May), sharing their images and stories. They are saying ‘This Is Me’ and refusing to be left out or hidden away by society, presenting themselves as the role models they want to see more of.
