whose face began to change when she was just six years old. She was born with a condition called AVM (Arteriovenous Malformation).
Her condition was more dangerous than anyone could imagine. The right side of her face, behind her eyes, and the top of her head had a mass of abnormal blood vessels. This caused her to have life-threatening nosebleeds. She has been in comas and lost a lot of blood. She has had 95 operations. Just imagine being a 6 year old and going through so much pain and struggle. Instead of playing with friends and enjoying school, she had to constantly fight for her life. One of her treatments involved cutting open her head and face, which was a traumatic experience. And as if her condition wasn’t hard enough, she had to face the cruelty of people around her.

"Nikki: I get a lot of comments on my videos, saying 'What’s wrong with her face?' or 'She’s ugly.’"

These were just a few of the hurtful words Nikki heard, even as a child.

“Nikki: I find it hard looking different. As a teenager, it feels like everyone judges you based on your looks."

But Nikki was determined. She didn’t just want to survive; she wanted to live fully. Neither her condition nor people’s hurtful words stopped her from dreaming.
She wanted to be a makeup artist since she was 8. She want to work in beauty and fashion."

At only 8 years old, she decided to feel more confident.

Nikki: “I’m happy with myself. I want to inspire people to embrace their inner beauty and teach them that perfection is a myth.”

She turned to YouTuber to share her story, her talent, and even her voice. Despite everything, Nikki is brave. She wouldn’t change her life or how she looks, even if she could.

"Nikki: You are who you are for a reason, and you just have to keep fighting. If you don’t fight, you’ll never reach your goals. Life is about being determined."

This is why millions of people love Nikki and why she is such an inspiration. Despite the world being unfair, she stayed kind. Her motto is to treat people how you want to be treated.

Nikki: “You can either focus on the negative and not enjoy life, or you can stay positive and block out the negativity."

Even though life has been tough, Nikki is strong and determined. She knows that one day, when she looks back, she’ll say it was all worth it. And most of all, despite looking different, Nikki is beautiful inside and out."
