Anmol Rodriguez was only two months old when her father threw acid on her and her mother. Her mother succumbed to the wounds, but Anmol survived, blinded in one eye. She grew up in an orphanage, walked in and out of hospitals for years, and was even fired from her job for being a 'distraction'. “Looking at these pictures, I love myself even more,” Anmol told me. “It took me a long time to let go of my insecurities. I don’t want people to feel sorry for me. I want them to be inspired. If I can make it in this world, I’m a hero and not a victim” And she is!
