23-YEAR-OLD Kayla Hayes has risen to overcome domestic abuse, and now she fights and advocates for other women who don’t have a voice. Kayla was 18 when her ex-boyfriend bit off 85% of her lip in an act of revenge. She was rushed to hospital but doctors were unable to reattach her lip. With over 350 stitches on her face, Kayla didn’t recognise herself and she completely lost her sense of identity. She told Truly: “I felt like a monster with such big scars over my face." Over the past five years, Kayla has been on a physical and emotional journey to heal the scars left behind by this tragedy. Her mom, Jamie, said: “It’s hard knowing that this is the life that was chosen for Kayla by someone else. But what she has done with this reality is amazing.” Kayla decided to wear her scars as wings, partnering with author Alisa Divine to share her story. Through speaking openly about her experience, Kayla raises awareness around domestic violence and brings about justice for others.
