When strangers would stare at Joel Whitwell, his mother would tell him they were only staring because of how beautiful he was. Joel looked different to other kids growing up; he was born with craniofacial deficiency and had only one ear and one eye.

Nevertheless, growing up in the Harvey community of Western Australia, gave him the courage to go out into the world and show his true colours.

This is his story of love, support, equality and resilience.
