My name is Kelsey Dworchak. 24 years ago, I was born with a rare disease known as Osteogenesis Imperfecta or OI for short. Essentially, my body has a lack of collagen, which affects my body and life. My bones are very fragile. My teeth are weak. Even the whites of my eyes aren’t pure white. Being born with this disease, I’ve had to overcome many obstacles and hardships. Given it all, I wouldn’t want to be anyone else. My unique disease and experiences have allowed me to appreciate what life has to offer. I am able to take a step back and appreciate the precious moments in life and not take them for granted. I believe that I was born this way to change the world. To show the world that “beauty standards” aren’t just one thing. Because we are ALL beautiful!
