Disability Activist Lili Rachel Smith - Apert's Syndrome






INSPIRING but SAD: How many can relate to the experiences of social isolation? Disability activist Lili Rachel Smith was born with Apert's syndrome, a #craniofacial condition. She had the friendship and admiration of some of the nation's top political leaders. Lili became socially isolated during her middle school years and then died of medical complications.

A few local teens began speaking about social isolation, leading to the first small group of Beyond Differences founded by Lili's parents. Watch her story via YouTube: https://youtu.be/vXkfpR5wO-k
