Naomi Hadar
was born with a Cleft Lip and Van der Woude syndrome.
These craniofacial conditions required multiple surgeries to reconstruct
her lips and other facial features...
...
In High School Naomi was the victim of Bullying and considered
self-deleting, that was until she found a creative art form...
Make-up & photography.
Her passion project, "Don't Stare, See Me" is her way
of giving back to the Facial Difference community
by showing others that being different is beautiful too.
...
This short film eaves drops in on a conversation between Aaliyah & Naomi
while prepping for a photo session...
They talk about what it's like to grow up with a facial difference
and what the true meaning of being beautiful is.

I was very moved by this video. She is a Godsend to many young people who have similar flaws in their faces.
I love that this video shines a light on her and what she is doing to uplift the spirits of those beautiful young people!
Bravo to her and to you!
With LOVE & LIGHT-
Hal
