I'm Dahlila Nixon and I am 13 years old. I was born with a unilateral cleft lip and palate, and have had 7 surgeries with the latest one being this past summer. Every year, I host a SmileTrain Fundraiser with my mother, but this year is different. This year, I'm a high school ambassador for SmileTrain and I get to share my cleft journey with everyone myself. I want to make a difference in my school, in my community, and in the cleft community. I want to raise awareness about clefts and show that ALL smiles are beautiful. I'm excited to make new friends and have the opportunity to make an impact.
