Angelica, born on May 6, 2018, was a picture of beauty with her adorable button nose, captivating eyes, and a heart-shaped port wine stain gracing her face.

Her mom, Marianna Bowering, noted that while many friends and family members embraced Angelica’s birthmark, there were still individuals insensitive enough to comment on her appearance. One of the cruelest remarks she received online likened Angelica’s face to being “pushed onto a skillet,” implying it looked grilled.

Despite initially trying to emulate Angelica’s beauty through makeup, Marianna revealed that her daughter had endured hurtful labels like “hideous” and “defective.” Yet, the family’s resilience and determination led to a remarkable transformation.

Marianna is unwavering in her commitment to ensure Angelica grows up knowing her natural beauty. Recently, the 27-year-old mother decided to paint a replica of her 5-year-old daughter’s birthmark on her own face, inspired by vascular birthmark awareness day.

This act symbolizes acceptance and love, challenging society’s conventional standards of beauty. It reinforces the message that Angelica’s birthmark is something to be celebrated rather than hidden.

Moreover, Marianna’s earlier attempt to make the birthmark shine with glitter and regular check-ups ensure Angelica’s health. In the end, one message shines through: Angelica is undeniably beautiful, and no one should tell her otherwise.
