The campaign features author and social activist, Jodie Patterson, who wrote 'The Bold World: A Memoir of Family and Transformation.' The book details her experiences as the mother of Penel Ghartey, her transgender son, and explores gender, race, and identity politics. The campaign centers around #ChosenFamily, with stunning black and white photos of the author's diverse family. For the fourth consecutive year, Gap will support the diversity of the LGTBQIA+ community by partnering with UN Free & Equal. The foundation is part of the [United Nations Foundation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/united-by-vanity) and seeks to promote equality in the community. From May 26 to July 6, 15% of the sales from the collection will be donated to the foundation. With more enterprises working to promote equality and acceptance, it seems social activism is crucial for consumer loyalty.
