Campaigning for equality and diversity for the public benefit by promoting greater diversity in the fashion, beauty and media industries

💛 NEURO PROUD 💛

One year ago today, award-winning photographer Amanda Akokhia brought our vision for to life in collaboration with Christine McGuinness and an incredible cast of neurodiverse talent with the message “Forget the stereotypes. This is what neurodiversity really looks like — bold, brilliant and unapologetically proud.”

What made this project even more powerful was that the creativity didn’t stop in front of the camera. The entire team behind the scenes was neurodiverse too — from photography and videography to hair, makeup, styling and production. Together, they created something that challenged perceptions and celebrated the talent, creativity, innovation and unique perspectives that neurodiverse people bring to the world every day.

As we mark Neurodiversity Pride Day, we’re proud to look back on a campaign that championed one simple message: being neurodiverse is something to be proud of. Our differences aren’t barriers — they’re strengths. They help us create, innovate, inspire and see the world in ways others might miss.

Today, we celebrate every neurodivergent person and encourage everyone to be proudly, unapologetically . 💛.

We’re thrilled to celebrate the launch of Recalibration: A Light Index by the incredible .

At Models of Diversity, we’ve had the privilege of working with Amanda several times and have always been inspired by her generosity, passion, and commitment to creating meaningful change. Her dedication to diversity, inclusion, and authentic representation shines through everything she does.

Recalibration is more than a photography book. It’s a powerful exploration of light, representation, and the evolution of photographing Black skin, celebrating beauty, visibility, and the importance of being truly seen.

We have so much love and respect for Amanda and the impact she continues to make through her work.

This Pride Month, we celebrate the strength, resilience, diversity, and achievements of the LGBTQIA+ community. 🌈

We honour those who have fought for equality, those who continue to advocate for change, and those who simply choose every day to live as their authentic selves.

At MOD we believe everyone deserves to be seen, respected, represented, and celebrated—regardless of their gender identity, gender expression, or sexual orientation.

We stand with the LGBTQIA+ community not only during Pride Month, but every day of the year. Because visibility matters. Inclusion matters. Human rights matter.

Happy Pride. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

✨ Every body deserves kindness — especially your own✨

The softness, the stretch marks, the curves, the changes, the stories your body carries; none of them diminish your worth. Speak to yourself with the same compassion you’d offer someone you love.
