Danielle shared that thanks to her parents she learned what matters most: ‘I have always known who I am, what I want, and what my self-worth is regardless of my birthmark’

‘I would love to be able to just wake up and walk out the door and I know that I can but most days I fight with the voice in my head telling me that it’s easier for me to put on makeup than to deal with people looking at me or asking questions, or feeling not as confident as I would with makeup is one that often wins.’

Now, she proudly shows off her birthmark on TikTok , something she feels is important.

‘I have met so many people who I can relate to or they can relate to me that it truly blows my mind that more people don’t know about port wine stains.
