Modelling Helped Me Beat My Birthmark Bullies | SHAKE MY BEAUTY

A WOMAN who was bullied at school for her unique birthmark has started a body-positive campaign to encourage others to embrace their differences. Paige Billiot from Los Angeles, California, was born with a dark red birthmark covering the left side of her face, along with her neck and ear. Her birthmark, also known as a ‘port wine stain’ or ‘firemark’, is a permanent discolouration of the skin caused by an abnormal formation of blood vessels. After being bullied for her appearance growing up, the 26-year-old budding actress’ online campaign called the ‘Flawless Affect’ sets out to empower others living with differences or imperfections.
