AUTHOR: Omaima Aladwani
Hi, my name is Omaima Aladwani, but just call me Om. I am from Kuwait City, and I am twenty-eight years old. Here are some fun facts about me: I love traveling, meeting people from different cultures, and learning languages and history. My first language is Arabic, and my second language is English. I understand the Turkish language, but I don’t speak it well; I will learn it soon. I love reading, going to the theater, editing, drawing, and listening to music.

Uncovered: Stories from the
Skin Difference Community
This anthology is a collective work of sixteen authors who came together to share their stories about living with a skin difference, in the hopes of helping to spread awareness about port-wine stains, AVM, Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome, and Moebius syndrome. After reading these riveting stories, may you all be reminded and shown that compassion and empathy for one another is truly within us.
All proceeds from this book will be donated to the Vascular Anomalies Alliance, a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization that helps support skin differences and other vascular anomalies and health conditions.
Their mission: “We strive to REACH our community by financially supporting advancement in Research, Education, and Advocacy, while creating a safe space and sense of Community where everyone feels like they are Home.” Please visit their website to learn more about how you can help!
