ReelShorts: FAMILY FRIENDLY

Meg Zucker is the Founder and President of Don’t Hide It Flaunt It (“DHIFI”).  Meg has a genetic condition called “Ectrodactyly” that she passed on to two of her three children.  A Wall Street lawyer with more than twenty years of experience in the field of anti-money laundering and anti-terrorism, Meg found her DHIFI-calling in 2009 when her oldest son of three children was bullied on the playground in elementary school because of his difference. Deciding to make “lemonade from lemons,” Meg was delighted for the opportunity to speak to students, teachers and other faculty at schools about the importance of unconditional acceptance and empathy.  Fast forward, DHIFI is now a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization that, among other things, partners with Scholastic Inc. to create “Flaunt It” related programming in schools and also offers Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) programs to Fortune 500 companies, The Girl Scouts, camps and underserved communities. Also, sharing DHIFI’s mission of empowerment and empathy, Meg has been both published and featured in national magazines (e.g., Parents) and newspapers (e.g., USA Today) and featured on television including Today (NBC) and The Learning Channel.  In November 2021, Meg is featured in “The Female Lead: We Rise By Lifting Others” and in February 2023, Meg’s first book, “Born Different: How To Help Your Children Claim Their Power” will be published by Penguin Random House (Tarcher Perigee imprint). According to Meg: “What makes me, me is that besides the fact I happen to have one finger on each hand, one toe on each foot and shortened forearms, and two of my three children share my condition, I am also allergic to Kiwi.”
