The Process Me and @the.luhblackgirl Decided to give @shayydee5 a makeover with everything she’s been through, she deserves to be pampered❤️ the fact that she loved it warmed my heart. The idea was to put some more color in her skin to bring her out Shay loves sparkles so I have her some glitter I live to see people beautiful.

June is Scoliosis Awareness Month Be the light! It is something I tell myself every day. I must shine and continue to shine despite the brokenness I was given. I must overcome my burden and break barriers. I must shine so I can inspire others who share my burden. A few years ago I was diagnosed with scoliosis, a leg length discrepancy and uneven hips. It was a heartbreaking diagnosis. A risky surgery was an option with an outcome that was uncertain. My parents and I decided against it. Instead I decided to be me, to keep working as hard as I can and to believe in the power of prayer. Believe in the power of positive thoughts. I can’t let scoliosis and leg length discrepancy define who I am as a dancer. All I can do is work harder and continue to try and be a light that inspires others. So I ask for my Instagram friends to please keep me in your thoughts and prayers this month (and always) as I try to bring more awareness to scoliosis.

>>SCOLIOSIS AWARENESS MONTH<<
It is a big misconception that having surgery just fixes your back and any deformities you have...often this is not the case! More then often deformities And the visual side of things doesn’t change majorly! Which can be the biggest let down of surgery. I remember looking at myself after my surgery thinking I’d magically be “normal” looking and being so disappointed that I still had a huge hump. I love it not though! Makes me unique, strong and brave! ❤️ #scoliosis #scoliosislife #scoliosissurgery #scoliosisawareness #scoliosisawarenessmonth #scoliosisfighter #chronicillness #chronicillnesswarrior
This time 2yrs ago I was having the biggest battle of my life. On life support after having both my lungs collapse on me. To have both lungs collapse at the same time is a rarity and such a scary battle. These photo maybe confronting but it was very much my reality for nearly 7 days! I was completely unable to breath on my own, I was fully reliant on the life support machine to keep me going. It is a rarity for your lungs to collapse after the surgery....this doesn’t happen often at all and wasn’t even listed as a risk on my consent form. ❤️ #scoliosis #scoliosissurgery #scoliosisawareness #spinalfusion #scoliosisstrong #scoliosisfighter #chronicillness #chronicpain #chronicpainawareness #lifesupport #lungcollapse #collapsedlung #icu #neardeathexperience
This girl is crushing scoliosis! We are her 21 month check up and the new out of brace MRI shows that her lower back lumbar curve is holding at 0 (started at 6) her thoracic curve is holding at 11 (started at 32) her cervical curve is at 17 (started at 22) Amazing results earned by hours and hours of stretching exercises, wearing her brace and complete dedication to her non surgical treatment. Reminding us all that strength and power comes from within us. This girl can do anything #selflove #determination #scoliosisawareness #scoliosiswarrior #scoliosis #scoliosisfighter #scoliosislife #scoliosisbrace #scoliosisstrong
June kicks off Scoliosis Awareness Month! When I was born I already had rib fractures and spine compression. Spinal compression fractures caused wedging in my spine and gravity just caused my spine to curve. When I was 2 years old I had a curve in by back that needed bracing to help hold off surgery until I was older and stronger. On my left is my very first hard brace and on my right my very last! It was tough and uncomfortable but it was all for the best....#sammihaney #teamsammi #scoliosis #backbrace #scoliosisawareness #scoliosisstrong #scoliosiswarrior #osteogenesisimperfecta
Scoliosis Awareness Month! My first scoliosis surgery was in 2017. There are several types of rods that are used, but my current rods are called MAGEC. They truly are magic! Besides making me very straight, they are lengthened with magnets outside my body to make me taller. My next surgery will be fixed rods and a full spinal fusion. Photo made for me by @higgybears using my own rod X-rays and post surgery pic! #sammihaney #teamsammi #scoliosisawareness #scoliosisstrong #scoliosiswarrior #scoliosissurgery #magecrods #scoliosis #osteogenesisimperfecta #toughasnails
