Meet the panel

Vikki’s life changed dramatically when she was diagnosed with cancer and had her nose removed and reconstructed. What began as a journey of grief transformed into one of profound self-discovery. She realised her true value lay not in her appearance, but in her character and spirit. Now a beauty pageant finalist, Vikki is redefining what confidence means and showing others that visible difference can coexist with pride and ambition. You can follow Vikki on LinkedIn and her story is published on our website here.

Marc acquired burn scarring to his face and hands when he was 14 years old. Over the years, he transformed his pain into purpose, learning to embrace his scars as part of his resilience story. He’s become an inspiring advocate for self-acceptance, teaching others that confidence comes from within, not from appearance. You can follow Marc on Instagram and read his substack.

Questions asked by the community

We aim to publish answers to all the questions asked during and before the webinar within the next few days.

This webinar will provide you with confidence-building tips and techniques for your child, helping them to recognise that their visible difference doesn’t take away from their value.
