Read about our guests below the video: 

Megan is a former special education teacher who is now a birth doula. She loves to sing and write song parodies to inspire self-love and acceptance. She was born missing the 7th cranial nerve on the left side. While having a facial difference once held her back from pursuing her dreams of becoming a singer and actress, she now confidently affirms that anything is possible and that differences only make us more of who we are.

Tiffany is a nurse by day and a facial difference advocate on social media. She uses her platform to educate and spread awareness for the social injustices that her facial difference community faces every day. She was born with a rare neurological disorder called Moebius Syndrome, which causes the right side of her face to be completely paralyzed. In her spare time, she enjoys reading, hanging out with her dog and cat, and tending to her house plants. She believes it’s time to break beauty standards and showcase more individuals with physical differences, disabilities, and other medical complexities.
