Alyssa McDonald II was severely burned a child over a significant portion of her face and neck and is legally blind in one eye.  But you can't tell her she's not sexy. (It's not her fault - she simply can't turn it off!).  She lives with a confidence that she has built and wants to share through her social media campaign,  "I Wear My Scars - Flaws Like Diamonds".  From being kicked out of a ratchet Facebook group to trending higher than Barack Obama on a single day; Alyssa shares her passion for becoming a motivational speaker with her infectious laugh, sharp observations, and unflinching honesty.  INSTAGRAMhttps://www.instagram.com/alyssamcdonaldii/YOU SHOULD KNOWLeslie Irbyhttps://travelnoire.com/leslie-irby-first-black-woman-with-disability-pilots-license
