Body-Positive Teen With Rare Condition Challenges Beauty Standards

  • 9 years ago
Teenager Isa-Bella Leclair, whose leg grew to twice its normal size is inspiring body positivity by posing in a bikini in spite of her condition. Isa-Bella, 19, was born with a genetic condition called Parkes Weber Syndrome, which caused her right leg to swell. The college student's leg grew to around 40lbs - leaving her unable to play most sports or tight-fitting jeans. However, the inspirational teen is now out to challenge modern beauty standards by showing her confidence in her body.
