Cherubism: real story

[gmecomber]

Interesting that the name is (maybe) derived from a class of angels.

[sarahShmiley]

What an amazing woman and what an amazing husband <3

[Zycadellic]

She's really pretty.

[mechanic93art]

Inspirational!

In my view, I don't really see it a problem. This is considered natural compared to many other conditions.

[NAURIS707]

and i was pissed about my foot fungus

[gaiagale]

what a beautiful voice! ...sharing such an inspired message ...evidencing clearly that beauty begins on the inside and radiates outwardly ...a shining example

thank-you for sharing this snapshot of your story

respect

[shadows0614]

Dude, her face is like amazing...

[elaahey]

Great lady, love her attitude. Beautiful person.

[TheRealRussG]

she's awesome!!! more people need to be like her

[LunaRebane]

In a way I find her very pretty.

[Deesanthem]

Know what... who cares about her chin. Her eyes are freaking gorgeous. Shes beautiful outside aswell as in.

[PuntThePikachu]

Beautiful person, inside and out.

[rizthefiz]

well shes got a load of brains and probably more successful than most of us

[JaimieGamboa]

i wish i had her confidence

[TickleMeHaleey]

She has amazing confidence!

[ChicagoFan32]

"I would like to see a world where people are accepted for what they look like." That would be sweet.

[xxDeadlyDECAYxx]

She has lots of confidence! :O

[EccentricBriChu]

God Bless her. :)

[louspintoo]

Goes to show you how much of your life comes down to your attitude. Abe Lincoln said "Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be." Here's a perfect example.

[bugahbooyou]

Damn...

If only I could have that kind of confidence :(

[lolwhatwet24]

I don't even think that her issue is that bad. Unfortunate but it's good that she has such a positive outlook.

[PortalPhreak]

I personally find her very beautiful. I don't know about you, but that's how I feel.

[pineapplesDelight]

These are the people, who face hardships EVERYDAY, that are the MOST beautiful in the world. SO MANY people do not understand how LUCKY they are to be alive, and living well and healthy! This is an amazing story, thank you for sharing. :)

[Detth2you]

she's insanely lucky that she doesn't live in america...I'm not even joking about that :/

[wasmrsmokidd]

@Detth2you

Why??

[TamaniMaqe]

@Detth2you I completely agree with you there.

[cat15man]

Its great to see that she is confident in herself, you miss are a great role model to others with disorders. Beauty is uniqueness I mean if we were all the same life would be so boring

[ILUVHORSES1981]

She's very beautiful! : )

[halfingr]

Do all victims of Cherubism have bigger chins or eyes, or is it random parts of the face?

[Milpup]

strongest people in the world takes huge guts - what a beautiful person

[landesal]

god bless her

[KaosAngel18]

She's very charming. She seems like the sort of person that you could start a conversation with, and keep going for hours.

[MarioCurtis]

Wow, this is actually cool, lol

[beebnegron]

Looking different isn't looking bad.

[mcsachsenhausen]

omg,youre so nice and confident! i wish i was like you i have no confidence and i have a stammer. you are very inspiring to young women like me.

[PinkChucks12]

SHE IS AMAZING

[GaigetheRage]

I actually find this quite Intresting. I'm sure people still bully her Today with it. But it looks Cool to me. And she's still quite pretty (:

[josi19831]

what a lesson for me !!!! god bless her!

[ExternalTooth]

I love the positive outlook she has, but that also seems to be the way it is with most people who suffer from disfigurements or problems such as this; they have to find the inner strength to overcome it to live a normal life, and it creates really emotionally and mentally strong people. I envy her confidence and optimism so much, what an inspiration.

[splintercellchicken]

@ExternalTooth you don't need a genetic disfigurement for this confidence. take a lesson from this woman, and develop that confidence for yourself

[LOG6661997]

What a nice woman

[elchippe]

She not look that bad, her eyes are beautiful and she looks like a nice person.

[EmperorOfMars]

So what exactly does her condition do?

[traderjoes]

Its sad she has this, but her great personality helps you look beyond her deformity and see her beauty radiate from within.

[N0RT0X]

keep it strong

[Ashfall32]

I actually love her personality. she made me smile throughout the whole video. she is so inspirational. there is this inner beauty that shines far more brighter than what you look like on the outside. and it makes you BEAUTIFUL. you are beautiful no matter what kind of challenge god gave you. god just wants you to become strong just like what she had said. just live a happy life. and everything will be ok. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU. you are beautiful just the way you are. :)

[EnigmaDrath]

Yes, seeing people with physical ailments can be shocking at first, but the feeling doesn't last and often, in my experience, these are some of the nicest, funniest people you'll ever meet, who have learned to overcome the challenge of dealing with others by assuming a positive, upbeat personality that is warm and welcoming, whereas I know tons of "normal" looking people, some quite beautiful, who are the foulest human beings on the planet; vain, mean and ugly to the rotten core.

[0DRK0]

@EnigmaDrath Absolutely true!

[TGMav]

This woman is very inspirational

[MrDreamweaverz]

Shes nice

[Spottedhead33]

She seems really sweet i like her :)

[sarabower1]

very brave! God bless you

you have a better life than I do

[sarabower1]

very pretty eyes

[bower105]

It's definitely very out of the ordinary, but I think it kind of looks sort of cool.

[XtacyInsanity]

i totally respect her husband, he saw the beautiful personality inside her. :)

[juliecoolyful]

YOU GO, GIRL.

[Brilslocs]

i actually think shes kinda cute :)

[KawaiiIchigo9]

She has a lovely smile :)!

[Stacey9490]

I met a person in Ecuador who had this, I think

[SuperTheTman]

shes a very brave person shes very admirable and it must be hard with people making fun of her about her disorder :(

[HunterTheParawhore]

Oh my god, she's such a sweetheart!

[doughbroNZ]

Better than most "normal" people I know

[ericwarnercline]

Amazing person. I'm happy for her!

[sweetpickles87]

Wow, that's inspirational.

[Wakeupsleepyhead1984]

it's all about ur confidence and how u carry yourself

[hang1iderswing]

Wow, what an amazing, amazing person.

[margietunes]

Very interesting video-well done. Victoria, you are a force of good in this world!

[duitendief]

One word ; RESPECT.

Eyes are the mirror of the soul and personality...Both are big and beautifull.

Peace from Holland.. <3

[sw33tnl]

sounds like her life turns out to be better than most ppl...

[Murderface357]

Wow, what a role model

[skarlatospanagiotis]

nature beauty

[amber9921]

She is so strong! Idk how she deals with that especially during the teen years!! Wow god bless

[XxTheStealthyClownxX]

I wish I had a friend like her! I'd tell her she was beautiful everyday! And I know I' wouldn't be lieing because she actually is quite beautiful and she seems like an intelligent, amazing person with a lot of wisdom

[ccddle]

I think she is quite beautiful.

[ElizabethAdventures]

She's very sweet; I like her! :)

[BbGirl77738]

She's still such a beautiful, inspiring person. c:

[katerinabeana]

what a wonderful, phenomenal, powerful human being. i felt touched by this.

[xxxUMADxxx]

She's a very lovely, beautiful person. God bless her!

[xLotaSwag]

This is an Example of a Strong woman

[RitaMoulderAuthor]

dude, im not going to lie, but i think she's pretty. And i love her accent

[Pandurz]

She's so strong.

[miguel042022]

OMG shes mad cool, i love the way she express herself. can we be friends and party together =]

[NihonDokiDoki]

Very beautiful :)

[hylianprincess7]

She's beautiful. :)

[shadowkid441]

i like how she still walks around with a smile:D i like how she believes in her self and yet i complain with acne when she doesn't complain about her disfigurement

[MrOverKill4590]

No matter what everyone has a flaw in some way but everyone is also beautiful in some way

[genenco1]

That's one thing she's right about. If you're going to feel sorry for yourself, then the "Condition" has beaten you. If you ignore the stares and let people know who you really are and don't hide, you'll do much better in the long run. Such courage is there, some deal poorly with it, others (Like her) are a shining example of getting out and embracing life.

[jacobbis4lovers]

@genenco1 I have Tardive Dyskineisa which is a movement disorder caused by antipsychotic medications. I get stared at constantly and I sit at home and feel sorry for myself and don't go out because I'm worried about what other people will say. But after seeing this video, I am a much stronger and positive person.

[TonicMike]

I'd like to know more people who are this genuine and nice. 

[Hollyg11]

I feel like I could ask this woman for public speaking advice, and she'd be able to help me out in the most kind, sincere, and lovely way possible. Why can't the world have people like her?

[ERKRAKANARB]

@Hollyg11 because not everyone understands. some people are just spoonfed without ever having to face the real world

[hbones2009]

Currently is there any procedure to maybe remove some of the tissue?

[askashleykaylor]

what a beautiful woman! and an incredible! speaker!

[shaistaabbas]

Thanks for making us learn the true and realistic approach to life

[Askimoula]

You wonder why all the models and pretty women you see out there don't have such inner beauty. Truly, what physical beauty merely hints at, true beauty is.

[Askimoula]

Victoria, YOU are AWESOME. Facial disfigurement runs in my family. I wish I could meet you sister, you're inspiring! And you have one hellava cute nose too! XX

[goldenpassages]

Beautiful we are all different.

[ContraryDeux]

She's actually very lovely. What a beautiful person.

[Fuegotiger2]

@ContraryDeux That's what I thought throughout the vid <3

[binkgut]

what a wonderful woman

[dianebarronjohnson]

I wonder if there is a surgery to remove some of the extra tissue.

[Fresh82Steph]

@dianebarronjohnson Who cares? She is fantastic the way she is :)

[xximaginexx]

she has beautiful eyes

[totogirl0]

This girl is beautiful :)

[Maddiesapphire]

one thing that I love about this woman is that she realizes that when people stare, they are not necessarily disgusted.

Sometimes people are intrigued or interested, and I love that she isn't ignorant of this.

anyway, she's very inspiring. I wish I were this strong. :)

[ForMySinsEasyGamer]

Inspiring



[tayylorr20]

I want her eyes. so jelous

[chemahuipe]

hey! I sit at home all day feeling misserable about myself : / and I look pretty average. I wish I was like her!

[walnuthouse991]

she is tooooooooo cute she is soooooooo nice . such a sweetheart

[t15engineer]

She have beautiful eyes. Amazing woman.

[HesseJamez]

Can't she have a plastic surgery?

[MariaTastedInk]

She is a beautiful person, so inspiring.

[talitha00cumi]

What a neat woman!

[SuperPrincessofMusic]

She still looks pretty :)

[IndigoCat17]

I think she is pretty even if she has a big chin

[ToddBryantWelch]

Her voice is angelic. and she is lovely. I would love to meet her.

[pootytang394]

she has alot of heart 

[VampireHeart12345678]

beautiful



[SMEYeo]

I honestly would not consider this a "disfigurement", she is still very beautiful

[yarbendarben]

great attitude, God Bless

[FierceChika20]

She's still a beautiful woman :)

[kyledude120]

This lady's beautiful, a fantastic story

[alyshooting]

You can be happy no matter what. I admire and respect her. She's beautiful inside and out. Society needs to be accepting.

[NecatorNimrod]

Amazing girl So inspiring! And as a "normal-looking" person, I very much appreciate her comment on "staring". When I see someone who is unusual-looking, I try not to stare, of course, but I probably do - in spite of myself. And of course, I feel bad. I am so grateful that she recognizes that this is just a manifestation of curiosity :) This video totally made me smile.

[NecatorNimrod]

Amazing woman!

[asclarice]

I like her.

[livelavalivelover09]

She's so inspiring. Just because someone looks different doesn't mean that they aren't a good person. I mean I'm guilty of judging a book by its cover but at least I admit it. Most people wouldn't do that.

[Gangstagirlable]

She is so pretty

[valstar1000]

I am glad you are couragous.

[any12u]

Very positive out look. This is what real beauty is all about!

[woodyfly]

I was looking for this video foreverrr

[bubbiz99]

She is an inspiring young lady that others including me can learn from.

[EndLessReDeMpTion]

Not gonna lie I would not have that kind of confidence

[dreaming0004]

She is beautiful inside and outside but way more on the inside and that's what counts!!! :) so that means shes Gorgeous!

[NAVYWIFEONE]

she has a beautiful spirit as well as being a beautiful person.

[AZAP28]

This disfigurement runs in my family. There was a 'book' written in 1933 by a professor from Queens University (Jones) featuring my Great Aunt & Uncles & my Grandfather. One Great Uncle didn't have the disease but his daughter has it. She has had corrective surgery . Haven't seen it in any other family members since my second cousin mentioned above. I can't even imagine what it'd be like?

[t6ka]

I love your attitude and you are a beautiful person!!

[lynx61490]

I'm so happy for her

[NoFootballTeam]

that was pretty inspiring

[goe5]

I've been watching alot of videos....these women are very strong and beautiful. I wish them the best

[meerespflanzen]

wow. what an amazing woman.

[alinkyng]

she's awesome!

[Oakleaf700]

Definitely a wonderful person. good for her.

[squigy97]

She lives with a smile and beyond her disfigurment and is a truly beautiful person, both in personality and looks

[BunniPhinx]

shes actually really pretty :)

[legallyblonde502]

The way she says Colin is just like how Anna Faris says it in What's Your Number?

[thepakibye]

she has a really pretty smile

[heartbreakdisease]

I admire her immensly!! 

[Fancymanofthedeep]

She has a very healthy and realistic attitude

[cigaretteskinny21]

To this day I still honestly believe that everyone is beautiful in their own way. :)

[WizyWizy]

What a fascinating woman!

[HelterSkelterSOR]

shes actually quite pretty

[bigrich0926]

Strong woman

[woutertron]

She's lucky to be so intelligent as well. It takes insightfulness to come to terms with and to overcome such a disadvantage.

[Xivera07]

While she might look different, she is still beautiful. It takes so much bravery and strength to face the world with any kind of disfigurement and still hold your head up high.  It is one's character that makes them beautiful, not their appearance.

[bullanguero82]

amazing woman. inspirational as it gets.

[aura0noir]

she's quite inspirational :)

[sherbetpuppy]

Beautiful person <3 x

[Craig1168]

This woman show's anyone can overcome diversity with a good support group and self confidence and a great attitude. Bravo!!! well done

[WorldsBestWife1]

I wish i was more like her

[hyst999]

She's an amazing woman. Truly cheerful and inspirational. Beautiful woman :-)

[magiclongboardist89]

You go girl

[Crackles666]

Well done, quite a large percent of people have a condition or disease including myself, although nothing that affects my appearance. Very inspiring person and you are blessed with good friends and a partner...well done.

[VickyTyler]

Inspirin' woman :)

[kamy12100]

what a wonderful woman

[Alexandraloves100]

SHE IS SO BEAUTIFULL INSIDE :)

[queenoftheuniverse]

@Alexandraloves100 She has her own outer beauty, too. Lovely smile and a twinkle in her eyes.

[darrouken]

:) I really admire this woman.

[MySadCaptain]

@kleash I saw her on a documentary with John Cleese called The Human Face (it was made a few years ago now). At the time she said people are always telling her she should get surgery but she's chosen not to. And good on her. I doubt very much that most of us would be that brave. I certainly wouldn't, and I really admire her for it.

[SlugHatchet]

she is a beautiful person, such a wonderful person I cried watching this.

[purplelepord]

Well done your very nice and keep your smile it lights up the world

[txmomoftwo1]

you're beautiful, sweetheart. you keep that beautiful smile because it lights up the world.

[DragonvaleMOD]

She has a great personality ;)

[character75]

love this woman!!!

[zacchie]

The greatest impurity is ignorance.

[biddyandbuster]

I think you are great!

[TheEmilkl]

She's a strong woman.

[denisethepainter]

I think you have an incredible, positive outlook.

You are truly lovely.

[cicada300]

@MrEpiclyrandom

it's easier to implant something than to remove it. in this case cartilage. It could possibly colapse her jaw, and there's a much higher risk of infection or regrowth

[MsTinkerbelle87]

i love her confidence!!^^ she seems very nice:)
