Nicole Hall is on a mission to celebrate her daughter’s unique beauty. Winry, her 13-month-old, was born with a rare birthmark known as congenital melanocytic nevi (CMN). Nicole initially found it unusual but quickly realized it wasn’t a bruise, resembling a mole. CMN can appear as brown to black patches on the skin.
Nicole decided to raise awareness about CMN through social media. Her message is clear: “Being different is your superpower.” She aims to support families dealing with similar conditions. While CMN increases the risk of melanoma, Nicole’s primary concern is potential bullying as Winry grows. She’s proactive with sunscreen and hats and regular dermatology visits.
Winry’s vibrant personality sets her apart. Nicole describes her as a happy and feisty baby. Nicole’s TikTok account has created a supportive community for those with CMN, reinforcing the idea that embracing uniqueness is beautiful.
Nicole and Winry’s story showcases a mother’s dedication to her daughter’s well-being and the beauty in diversity. In Nicole’s words, it’s a conversation for kids and parents to understand and accept differences.
