Yasmin Mebar
At age 14, Yasmin developed a disease called «skin deprivation.» This is a fungal infection that has covered the girl’s skin with white spots. As a child, Yasmin was very shy of her defect and was faced with ridicule and tactless inquiries. Up to 24 years old, the girl struggled in every way and tried to disguise her ailment, but once she heard a small child exclaim loudly: «Mommy, look, the aunt has a map on her back!» At this moment, the girl realized that she needed to start accepting herself and her appearance even with such features and now Yasmin is actively working on a positive perception of herself and her shortcomings.
