Author Jenny Woolsey shares her story of being born with a facial difference, her struggles growing up and her motivation to help others embrace difference. Her message... "Be Weirdly Wonderful!"
Jenny has always looked for the best in the world despite its cruelty at times, as a child she was bullied. In her words: bullied "from the day she was born" when her parents being told due to her craniofacial difference - "not to take her out into the world". Growing up in school was torture for Jenny and at a young age surgery offered some hope of "normalcy", but it took multiple operations.
Today Jenny has turned her childhood adversity into a strength, sharing her story at schools and with other born with a physical difference to help all better understand how the world is experienced through the eyes of someone who was born to stand out.
Jenny is now and author of multiple children's books, a public speaker and an advocate of embracing difference. She has overcome adversity and now helps others, including her own children, who face the world while being born different.
