#GenerationG

Nancy Gianni is living proof that miracles exist. Fourteen years ago, she had no idea that the birth of her daughter, GiGi, and the shock of a subsequent Down syndrome diagnosis would trigger a series of miracles that would eventually help change how the world sees differences. Through it all, she learned that although a miracle is not always pretty or obvious and may even be disguised as pain or tragedy, it is what we do with that pain that brings the miracle to light.

In an inspiring memoir that not only tells the true story of her journey after the birth of GiGi but also shares a call to action, Gianni chronicles the growth of the GiGi’s Playhouses empire, as well as the personal struggles and joys that influenced the movement of global acceptance for all — #GenerationG. While sharing details of how she learned to tap into her inner strength and rise above negativity, preconceptions, and the unfiltered views of outside observers and how she founded an organization focused on teaching acceptance, Gianni gently reminds us that it is possible to make a conscious decision to be better every day at loving everyone. #GenerationG is the true story of a mother’s determination to create a movement of positive change and acceptance after her daughter was born with Down syndrome. All profits from the sale of this book will go toward GiGi’s Playhouse and furthering our mission of global acceptance for all through Generation G!
