Growing up with CMN has come with struggles, especially when it comes to the way I look and how other people perceive me. But I have never allowed my CMN to dictate the way I live my life. 

I wear shorts when I want to. I wear a bikini when I choose to. I live my life the way I choose. 

Raising awareness is important to me because I want people with CMN to know they are not the only ones. Having CMN does not mean you have to let it define your life or limit what you can do. 

I want other people with CMN to know that they can do anything they want and that they deserve to live confidently and freely. 

Just because you have it doesn't mean you have to live it.
