Having a facial condition as a teen can be a challenge, but this inspiring girl with a facial condition rises above cruel comments and gets a flood of support.
Inma Franco has Saethre-Chotzen syndrome. This rare condition causes a premature fusing of the skull which means it affects the shape of the head and face. But Inma’s not letting her difference stop her from showing her beautiful face to the world.

“You do not know what it is to go down the street and they laugh at you for your face, for everything,” she said tearfully.
Inma was bullied to no end on social media. People would make comments about her appearance and post cruel comments.
Inma decided to put an end to the comments once and for all when she made a video about her facial condition. Her act of courage and bravery made her become an inspiration to all!
She posted, “The most important thing to be happy is to love yourself as it is with all its defects and insecurities. Thank you ♥ ️ and please, before commenting, think carefully about what you are going to say because you do not know how your comment may affect that person.”
What happened next was incredible. An outpouring of support by the thousands cheered her on with nearly a million views of her TikTok including some celebrities.
Spanish celebrity and actor Brays Efe posted, “Inma, don’t let anyone tell you that they are defects, something defective is something that does not work,”

“Beauty is an opinion and here what matters is what you think. And the scars are not defects, they are medals that you have fought and won. I admire you,” he said. Another well-known actor Victor Clavijo also commented on her post. He wrote that she is a “ “strong, brave, sensitive and intelligent woman.”
Thank God for beautiful souls like Inma who are willing to fight the good fight and be a voice for others. We all know those who post terrible comments are cowards hiding behind their screens. We hope and pray they will never be subject to that kind of bullying because no one deserves to be treated that way. And we also are cheering Inma on from the sidelines. May she continue to be a beautiful light in a dark world!
