When Mui Thomas was born with a skin condition, her birth parents left her.
A couple took in a little girl with red skin after her parents abandoned her; they brought her up to be a successful woman!
Her doctors thought she would die from her Harlequin ichthyosis. Despite being told she would die before she was born, Tina and Rog Thomas raised Mui.
The psychological toll that bullying and cyberbullying took on Mui was substantial. With the support of her parents, she defied convention and found solace in rugby administration.
In her 30s, Mui is still using her story to motivate people and bring attention to the importance of visible differences.
Her positive outlook and determination demonstrate the importance of being kind.
Even when faced with challenges, Mui’s smile remains her powerful answer.
