Question

Imagine you are part of a fashion club, and you are planning a fashion show at your local community center. One person in your group does not want to include models who have disabilities. What reasons can you provide to persuade this person that the show should include these models? Think about what this course has taught you about active listening, leadership, critical thinking, interpersonal skills, and working in groups. Then explain what reasons this person might give and what you could say in response.

Answer 1

Disabled people may struggle to locate clothes that actually fit and flatter their body shape and skin tone. People will feel more secure in themselves and at ease purchasing at your store if you have greater representation. Everyone should be able to find clothing that makes them feel good and fits them well. The person might say that including these models costs more money or that it will ruin the aesthetic of the show. Those are just excuses for being ableist.
