Muscular Dystrophy

Gabriela Vaamonde

Let's be part of the change

My name is Gabriela Vaamonde I was born in Caracas and I am 30 years old. I was born with a rare genetic disease called emery dreiffus muscular dystrophy. Diagnosed when I was a girl when I was 7 years old, they performed a biopsy in one of my muscles and they found muscular dystrophy. Then as the years went by and seeing my symptoms they discovered its type. Currently, I work in a banking institution and I am studying the last semesters of my Bachelor's degree in Tax Sciences, majoring in public finance. It will be one year since I decided to tell my story and my experiences on Instagram because I always dreamed of reaching those who need a little inspiration with my words. To be the voice of people who need it and of course, change the way beauty is seen in the fashion industry in my country. Because we are definitely light in this world and we must always leave beautiful footprints.
