"The Gift of Unbreakable Resilience: A Young Woman's Journey with a Rare Disorder"

Tayla Clement, 26, was born with Moebius syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that causes facial paralysis and inhibited eye movement. Despite facing bullying and unsuccessful surgery to correct her inability to smile, Clement has found purpose as a sports content creator and advocate for inclusion in sports. She has used her platform to connect with others with syndromes or disabilities and aims to educate others on treating young people who feel unseen or unheard. Clement considers her condition to be a "greatest gift" and embraces her uniqueness, smiling in her own way.
