Press Release: Dani's Twins Film and Magnetic Me
Magnetic Me announced today its sponsorship of DANI’S TWINS, an upcoming documentary providing a rare, intimate look into the pregnancy and early parenting journey of one of the few quadriplegics ever to give birth to twins.
DANI’S TWINS, set for release later this year, captures the story of Daniela Izzie’s joyful but perilous pregnancy and birth of her twins, as she strives to overcome the physical risks and the biases that parents with disabilities face. Magnetic Me’s sponsorship is playing a key role in funding post-production of the film.
“Magnetic Me was created to help parents save time (so there’s more time for the good stuff!),” says Lauren Levy, cofounder & visionary. “Soon after we launched, I heard how helpful our clothes are for moms, dads, grandparents, caregivers, etc. who face mobility challenges, too. It has been so incredible to hear how meaningful our outfits have been for families.”
"We wanted to take our passion for accessibility one step further, which is why we're so proud and excited to support DANI'S TWIN film,” Levy adds.
DANI’S TWINS is more than just a film. “We believe that Dani’s journey will help break down prejudices and make audiences question their assumptions about people with disabilities, especially wheelchair users,” says Angie Gentile, Producer.
Dani’s story has the potential to inspire a public dialogue with benefits for millions of people.
“Now more than ever, we need to reshape the disability narrative, challenge ingrained biases and normalize disability,” Gentile says. “We are deeply grateful to Magnetic Me for joining us on this important mission.”
