Nature has evolved to create very unique and and distinct individuals. No two creatures, or people for that matter, are exactly alike. Yet, the world can be a hard place for someone with a characteristics that stand out from the crowd.

Instead of showering people with love for being their own unique person, many can be on the opposite side of nice. This always shows more about the person being rude than the person who is receiving their actions. Rilee is a young girl that was born with Achondroplasia, a form of dwarfism.

Rilee refuses to let her condition hold her back from anything in life, she is just going to shake it off.

Rilee was born with Achondroplasia, which is

“… a disorder of bone growth that prevents the changing of cartilage (particularly in the long bones of the arms and legs) to bone. It is characterized by dwarfism, limited range of motion at the elbows, large head size (macrocephaly), small fingers, and normal intelligence.”

One activity that Rilee has loved to do from a young age is dance.

Rilee has a YouTube Channel, Smiles From Rilee which was created with the help of her mother, Angela. It has a lot of videos of Rilee dancing. To help promote awareness for dwarfism, Rilee wanted to create a YouTube dance video. What better song to dance to than Taylor Swift’s “Shake it Off.” Rilee chose the song and it shares the perfect message.

Taylor Swift and Rilee are letting the world know that the haters are gonna hate and the fakers are gonna fake, but they are just going to shake it off.

Rilee’s mother, Angela, wants the world to know about Rilee’s love and strength. In a Facebook post about Rilee’s experiences she speaks about the many times Rilee has been put in situations of judgement by other children and parents because of her Achondroplasia. Angela wants everyone to know the Rilee she knows and loves.

“I am so thankful to God that I am blessed to be her mom. She doesn’t let her size hold her back from anything. I hope she never does! She is strong, kindhearted, talented, smart, beautiful, and so much more! To know her, is to love her. She Is perfect!! My hope for her, is that this world will see her ability to all things in life. I want her to be respected by all people, regardless of her size. She might be small, but her size is insignificant to what she is capable of in life,” Angela wrote on her Facebook post.

Rilee is having a great time dancing it out to Taylor Swift and her happiness is contagious.

Rilee whips her hair back and forth like a true diva and it is great. Rilee also has the perfect amount of sass that is needed for the fun tune. When Taylor Swift start talking in the song, Rilee gives the best eye rolls at the exact moments they are needed. It does not matter what any person is going through, a dance break will always help shake off any negative emotions and just have fun.

Rilee danced to help raise awareness about dwarfism. So, after you watch her adorable dance take a moment to go to Little People of America‘s website and learn more.
