Samantha from United States

Meet my daughter Samantha!

She is a 19-year-old model/actor that loves sports, dance, and Olivia Rodrigo!

When she has free time, she hangs out with her friends, plays Just Dance, and watches movies.

We are so proud that she just finished her 4th season of Ballet Arizona’s The Nutcracker.

This brave young woman gets up on a really big stage with a significant visual impairment!

Not much slows her down.

We could all use a little of her confidence!

The best way to raise awareness of Down syndrome is for people with Down syndrome to share their own stories in their own words.

We will share your words, along with your photo, on the World Down Syndrome Day website and on our social media pages.

We look forward to hearing from you.
