Mirror.\n\n\n\nMarianna further said that there were times when her daughter was labeled \u201chideous\u201d and a \u201cdefect.\u201d This affected the family in a negative way and only added to the challenged they faced, but they were determined to overcome the negative effects of the mean words and comments.
\n\n\n\n
No matter what others said, Angelica\u2019s family taught her to love herself the way she is.\n\n\n\n
In order to help her daughter feel better, Marianna decided to paint her face with what resembled a birthmark just like the one of Angelica.\n\n\n\n
\u201cI got the idea from vascular birthmark awareness day, where they encourage people to paint a heart on the cheeks,\u201d the mom said, according to The Epoch Times. \u201cInitially I just did the heart with my makeup look but then I thought why don\u2019t I go all out and do Angelica\u2019s port wine stain.\u201d
\n\n\n\nWhenever someone tried to \u2018comfort\u2019 Marianna that her daughter\u2019s mark would eventually fade away or that she could hide it with makeup once she gets older only crushed this mother even more as she couldn\u2019t help but wonder if Angelica would be forced to hide her natural beauty instead of embracing it.\n\n\n\n
It was a reminder that societies have these norms about what a person needs to look like in order to fit the group and be accepted.\n\n\n\n
Her family has always told Angelica that she should love herself for who she is. There were times when Marianna would cover her daughter\u2019s wine port stain with glitter so that it could shine bright.
\n\n\n\n
We are glad Angelica is taught how to love herself and embrace her birthmark.\n\n\n\n
She is a very beautiful young lady, don\u2019t you agree?\n\n\n\n
