Read and listen to the text and answer the questions.

Answer

  1. Lowri became famous in 2019 for convincing Disney film directors to create a heroine wearing glasses, providing a role model for bespectacled boys and girls.
  2. Currently, she is leading a campaign to convince tech companies to create an emoji that allows users to change the glasses, similar to options for changing skin or hair color.
  3. The problem with the "nerd emoji" is that it doesn't accurately represent people who wear glasses and doesn't express their personality.
  4. Teens are supporting Lowri's campaign, discussing their social difficulties related to wearing glasses and sharing stories of being judged or receiving negative comments.
  5. They talk about feeling excluded or insecure due to societal perceptions about glasses, but some remain confident despite encountering insults.
