Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
LEIDY Ardila from Neiva, Columbia suffers from fibrous dysplasia, an uncommon bone disorder where scar-like (fibrous) tissue develops in place of normal bone. The condition developed after Leidy had heart surgery when she was a baby. Doctors warned her mother that Leidy wouldn't be able to walk - and that it was likely she wouldn't survive past her 12th birthday. But Leidy more than proved them wrong. Aside from the surgeries and hospital visits Leidy has endured, it has left her face enlarged and it's perhaps this visible aspect of her condition that impacts Leidy the most. Now 29 and working as a graphic designer, Leidy is using social media to promote body positivity.

She's absolutely right, beauty comes from within and that's the only part that really matters at the end of the day. The people making comments like that, I won't be able to sleep tonight. They shouldn't be able to sleep only because they are terrible people at heart and you are absolutely gorgeous at heart. You seem like someone everyone would want to be friends with and have around. So positive. Keep doing you, I wish I had the chance to meet you and get to know you

She’s actually very lovely. I mean when you first look at her it’s kind of shocking but there’s something about her (not even her personality or anything which is lovely) I’m talking about when you first look at her. She’s actually very beautiful. I’m not sure what it is but all the same. She is very lovely girl and I know that I’m not even close to the only person that feels that way.

She looks like a character from something! Her eyes are so gorgeous they look like Pixar eyes. And her skin is so smooth. She is utterly fascinating to look at, in the way that supermodels are to me. I'm so glad that she is not affected by this too much

There's nothing unusual about these people. They are just different,
Don't worry about it sweetie, you ARE BEAUTIFUL. I have walked down a runway so believe me when I say you are perfect. If you need to look this up. Walked down a runway.

You are who you are and if people dont like your appearance then they just can go somewhere else, i see you as a human and would treat you as such, no more no less, you must have had very good parents to be this solid as an adult

My brain is struggling to accept that this isn't some kind of CGI or something. With the things you can do with machine learning, it's kind of hard to distinguish what's real and what's a not.

Your happiness is what I find so beautiful on you keep living that happy fulfilled life and the beautiful that you are will continue to dominate and shine the brightest! Truly! It is and will.

Part of me wishes I could wave a wand and heal her but another part of me thinks that would be doing a disservice to her strength and to the World. Rock on warrior woman! Inspiration to us all.
reply

And me I hate myself because I’m underweight, with big nose, bullied so many times for who I am, especially in school. I wish I was so strong and positive like that lady.

I know what it's like to have a deformity. I have a large hemangioma on my leg for one. But I don't have a facial deformity specifically. She's right. And she is beautiful.
reply

Absolutely admire and respect her resilience and positivity! I will take her message as inspiration on the day’s I’m battling my depression. and I think she is beautiful!
reply

Leidy, you're lovely and so strong! If on the off chance that you read this, would you please consider dropping an eyeliner tutorial Yours always looked flawless in the vid
reply

She’s low key pretty let’s be real she will be fine and she will find love if she hasn’t already. She has a normallife compared to what could be she’s very lucky
reply

I love how confident she is because of her condition. Also, Colombia is misspelled in the description of this video. Columbia is a completely different place/thing.
reply

She is an inspiration to everyone. She is so happy just the way she is. People who are not sick are always complaining and unhappy with their lives.
reply

I promise you, Colombians; no one is trying to disrespect you guys when they spell it like this Columbia. It's an honest mistake and not intentional.
reply

My son’s face jutted forward in one side of his forehead due to plagiocephally and I lose sleep over this, I salute your courage Leidy.
reply

I am so sorry that happened to you. You are and inspiration to all of us you are beautiful and amazing. Anyone cant see that screw them.
reply

She's cute I like her positive personality and she lucky she doesn't get nasty skin rashes before November every year like I do.
reply

I love seeing people unafraid to feel comfortable in their own skin despite what other people may think. slay, queen!
