Make-Up Artist Born Without Knees | BORN DIFFERENT
A MAKE-UP artist born without femur bones or knees refuses to let her disability hold her back from her dream career. Priscilla Miranda was born with Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency (PFFD), a non-hereditary birth defect that affects the pelvis, hip bones and the proximal femur. Throughout her childhood, the make-up artist had several surgeries on her ankles to correct clubbing and on one of her feet. After being complimented on her own make up skills, the 31-year-old from Orange County, California, decided to pursue a career as a make-up and hair artist, even though she was discouraged during college tours.
