Greatness of Mary ,

Very interesting! Thank you for sharing!

I’m actually located in the U.S. and found the ChangingFacesUK on Instagram. I really enjoy the podcast and IG content about visible differences. I don’t have a visible difference, and really appreciate the speakers for opening up and providing a perspective on how people with visible differences experience life, the challenges especially, and life during this pandemic.

Thank you so much for sharing and allowing everyone to get a glimpse of your experiences. Really really appreciated it! Be well, stay healthy and strong.
