A woman who is unable to smile due to a rare neurological disorder has defied her bullies by embarking on a "self-discovery and healing journey" that has led her to find self-confidence - as well as signing a modelling contract.
Tayla Clement was diagnosed with Moebius Syndrome when she was eight months old, meaning she cannot move her eyes from side to side, raise her eyebrows, or even smile due to the underdevelopment of her facial nerves.
And while she has been bullied her entire life for looking "different", Tayla told the Daily Star that she has since learned to accept her true beauty and is proving her critics wrong by finding success as an influencer, a Paralympian, and now a model.
