My name is Lina Dejesus. I am a Cosmetology 22-year-old student who was born with a vascular birthmark on my left lower lip, it’s been a hard challenge that has become harder.

I am a Makeup Artist/ Instagram Influencer and I just really want to raise awareness to this cause and bring my followers along with me through this journey while helping those like me since I have started receiving problems with my birthmark two years ago and have encounter lots of situations and bullying in my upbringing and every day for being born with such normality, I have encounter lots of situation with other were very little to none people had awareness of Vascular Birthmarks and I really want to take my friends and followers with me on this journey to educate ourselves and others on such an impactful cause as I take them along with me on this journey, publicly on social media such as YouTube & Instagram as I finally choose to find treatment/removal and raise awareness to help others just like me.
