#3 She’s Embracing Her Unique Beauty
As a child, I was bullied and rejected... I've been called by many nicknames. It has never been easy to go any where and feel comfortable because people confronted me with fear, some even laugh at me. Of course, it broke my self-esteem. But one day I prayed and asked God why... and guess what he replied? He told me I was a master piece! After that, I embarked on a journey of forgiveness and self-acceptance...

When it comes to pigmented birthmarks, there are a few main types. For example, café-au-lait spots are light brown patches of skin that can appear anywhere on the body and usually last for life.

Another category includes congenital moles, which are caused by an overgrowth of pigment cells. These moles are often present at birth and can change as a child grows, sometimes becoming darker or even hairy.
