19-YEAR-OLD Liz and Maddie Adams are a pair of fraternal twin sisters from New York. Liz was born with Goldenhar syndrome, a rare craniofacial condition that left her with a missing ear, an underdeveloped eye, a missing jaw bone, and an asymmetrical face. She had to undergo over 30 surgeries and spent the first four months of her life in ICU. Growing up with the facial difference wasn't easy, but Liz was thankful for having her twin sister by her side as they navigated the journey together. Two years ago, Liz and Maddie launched their own podcast, Courageously Kind, dedicated to kindness, acceptance, courage and inclusivity. By sharing their story, the sisters hope to raise awareness of the condition and inspire others to love their authentic and unique selves.
