Zuly Sanguino : Life Without Limbs

For this 25-year-old who was born with no arms or legs has had a difficult life and has been subjected to bullying, sexual abuse and even contemplated suicide. But Zuly Sanguino is now a successful public speaker hoping to inspire others to overcome the hurdles they face in life and has proven that she is bigger than those challenges. Zuly from Bogota, Colombia, says: ‘I don’t have any arms or legs, but I won’t let that hold me back.

Growing up was hard and I was bullied at school. I was called an alien and it really hu*rt me. I went through some dark times and even contemplated $u!c!de. But my friends and family pulled me through and now I give motivational talks at businesses, pr!sons and schools. I speak to children who are bullied, or have disabilities, to show them having physical or mental limitations doesn’t have to hold you back. I want to show people you can do anything if you put your mind to it.’ Zuly was born in Columbia with an extremely rare genetic condition that results in the limbs not developing properly in the womb. The rare condition is called with Tetra-amelia syndrome. She is one of six but her three brothers and two sisters did not suffer from the condition.

Zuly who was subjected to a cruel campaign of bullying from a young age had a very difficult school life, she was forced to change schools at six years old, yet the abuse continued. He father committed $u!c!de when she was just two years old and has to live without a father.

Zuly was later led to the brink of $u!c!de because she was r@pe*d as a teenager. She said, ”I started to realise I was different to other children aged six. Suddenly I noticed they could run and I couldn’t. I asked Mum why I was different. She told me I was no more different than anybody else and my disability didn’t have to hold me back. Children called me alien and h!t me, sometimes they’d take my snacks. It was horr!ble.’
