About Natalie Weaver
As her online presence grew, Natalie began receiving hateful messages about Sophia's appearance and life. This inspired Weaver to take action against social media platforms to do more to protect users with disabilities and facial differences. She has worked with Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. Natalie’s story has been featured in media outlets like People Magazine, CNN and The Today Show, bringing national attention to the issues facing people with facial differences and disabilities.
Natalie continues to raise awareness in memory of her daughter Sophia, who passed away in 2019, to keep her impact on this world alive. Natalie's advocacy is driven by her love for Sophia and her desire to make the world a more just place for all people, regardless of their abilities and the way they look. Her story and Sophia's journey have inspired many and highlighted the importance of fighting discrimination in all forms. Her work reminds us that small acts of speaking up can make a big difference, one human being at a time. As Natalie continues sharing Sophia's story, she hopes to spread a message of compassion and inclusion. Together, we can build a world where disability is accepted, accommodated, and celebrated as just another part of our shared human diversity.
