This mom will change the way you look at a mermaid forever.

When Lynette Abbott googled “mermaid party supplies," she got over 1 million results, yet not a single mermaid had anything but white skin. So, what does any mother on a mission do when she can’t get what she needs? She does it herself. After braving a battle with breast cancer, Lynette set out to create her own line of party supplies for underrepresented children of color. Watch as our I am Scary Mommy series follows Lynette’s story of bringing meaning to families that is so much beyond paper plates.
