Nadia Lauricella, born phocomelic and without arms, an example of the strength of life.

This is the story of a brave girl, Nadia Lauricella who has decided to break down the wall of prejudices related to disability, using social media to raise public awareness.

Many characters with disabilities have begun to expose themselves to tell their stories, their lives and to make people understand the importance of the word inclusion.

Today, we will talk about Nadia Lauricella, born on October 2, 1993 in Sicily. Nadia was born with obvious disability, devoid of upper and lower limbs, but certainly not without the will to live. The young woman has decided to get noticed using a large media platform: Tik tok.

Su tik tok Nadia tells the normality of her days and daily gestures, answers people's many questions and curiosities, and tries to make them understand that the lack of limbs cannot limit or stop the will to live.

Nadia Lauricella and the fight for awareness

According to Nadia's concept the more people are seen as abnormal, plus everyone will try to ridicule them. This girl hasn't always been so strong and stubborn, especially in her adolescence, when she, even though she accepted herself, didn't value herself and in any case she was sick.

Over time he became aware of his life and his condition and understood that he had to focus on his own strengths if he really wanted to change things.

Nadia is convinced that unfortunately when people see a person with a disability, they forget that behind that person there is a human being, just like them.

If parents began to look at disabled people as normal people and teach their children not to see a wheelchair or a missing limb but simply a person, the world would slowly begin to change.

It shouldn't get to the point of having to use a social network to make people understand that there are no "different" people, but unfortunately, there are still many prejudices related to disability. Fortunately, however, there are also stubborn and courageous people like Nadia, who with their strength will be able to really teach the meaning of the word inclusion.
