95% Of My Body Is Burnt | SHAKE MY BEAUTY

25-YEAR-OLD Jenna Bullen from Oklahoma City sustained burns to over 95% of her body at the young age of three. As her parents were getting ready for a Memorial Day celebration, Jenna was in the garage when a knocked-over gasoline canister ignited a flash fire. With her body covered in 3rd and 4th degree burns, Jenna has had to undergo over 80 surgeries throughout her lifetime. During one of these surgeries in 2015, Jenna’s heart stopped beating whilst on the operating table. Jenna told Truly: “It was very eye-opening for me, I got really depressed and felt like my life was going to be like that forever.” However, the thing that got Jenna back on track, was finding out she was becoming an aunt for the very first time. Jenna said: “My brother told me that he was going to have a baby and something changed, it gave me motivation to get better.” Now Jenna is weeks away from graduating with her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. To celebrate the special occasion, she wants to do a photoshoot in the traditional “cap and gown”. Having struggled with her confidence growing up, being in front of the camera is something that Jenna doesn’t do often. However, she wants to stress that when you come to terms with who you are, you learn how to love yourself. “Several years ago, I finally realised it’s okay to be different, you don’t want to look like everybody else."
