My name is Fazayl, and I live in Alberta. I enjoy playing basketball, reading, and spending time with my pet birds.
As someone with a port-wine stain facial birthmark, I hope to use my time on the YAC to alleviate the stigma regarding facial differences in our society. Specifically, I hope to show others with port-wine stain birthmarks that they are loved, accepted, and just like everyone else.
I hope that facial differences become a larger focus during discussions about diversity and acceptance. Within my community, I hope that I can become a representative of the AboutFace organization and spread awareness about facial differences by informing others about my role on the YAC.
