Have you ever been bullied as a child? It's one of those things that sticks with you and can severely impact your life. That's something that Alba Parejo knows too well.
She was born with a rare disorder and looked different all her life. And because of it, she was bullied horribly by others. Thankfully, now she accepts herself fully and wants to spread awareness of her condition.
The condition causes large moles and dark patches of skin to form all over her body and face.
Some even called her a "dalmatian" or an "alien" because of how her skin looked.
However, the treatment turned out to be too painful to continue.
She began to slowly accept herself.
Thankfully, these people showed her love and support.
To her surprise, she received many positive comments and feedback from strangers.
Her pictures were displayed all over the areas where she lives.
And she's happy to share her story and bare her skin to the rest of the world.
She models for many artists' work and spreads awareness of her condition.
She wants others with the same condition to know it's okay to love yourself.
It can take a long time, but models like Alba are helping these people embrace their beauty.
It's so important to see models like her in the industry.
She believes everyone is beautiful in their own way, skin marks and all.
Alba is a true champion of body acceptance and positivity that we need to see more of.
