In 2019, Lowri Moore, wrote a letter to Disney asking them to represent more glasses wearers in their films
The Nottinghamshire schoolgirl who inspired Disney to create a heroine with glasses is now challenging the 'nerd face' emoji. In 2019, Lowri Moore, wrote a letter to Disney asking them to represent more glasses wearers in their film, and two years later Mirabel proudly appeared in Encanto wearing glasses.
"I would also like to see the original emoji wearing glasses too, but preferably not this one that looks like a nerd. I think this can be damaging as it helps to confirm the negative stereotype and stigma that we are trying hard to destroy." To kick off her campaign, Lowri visited a UK secondary school where the students co-signed her letter.
"I want to express myself with a glasses emoji because that's who I am. I think Lowri is doing this for us - for everyone that wears glasses." Earlier this year won the award for Campaigner of the Year from the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness.
