I stood in front of the mirror and took pictures, covering the right side of my face with the phone, the one affected by the paresis. My parents got very angry, they told me: ‘you have to take photos of yourself straight, you’re beautiful’. The truth is that the more you hide the more you accentuate the flaw”.
He suffered bullying. Camilla confesses: “At seven years old my schoolmates told me that I couldn’t play with them, that my mouth was crooked.

I rarely stop at the external appearance”. When asked if she sees herself as beautiful, she replies: “Yes, and it makes me laugh to say it.” He has finally learned to love himself.
