Beverly: I haven’t always felt like I was beautiful. I got bullied a lot when I was a kid for various reasons. I used to have crooked teeth, and bad eczema and that messed with my confidence and my self-esteem.
I want to help people believe in themselves and make them understand how beautiful they are, but to do this, I had to first see through their eyes.
For a long time, how I looked affected how I felt about myself.
