Valeria, a 26-year-old woman known for her distinct appearance, playfully refers to herself as a “landmark.” Standing at just 109 centimeters tall, she has captured public attention not only for her stature but also for her resilience and optimism.
Despite her physical differences, Valeria has achieved remarkable milestones—she’s gained fame, found love, and even become a mother. In 2017, she gave birth to a healthy daughter, defying the concerns of doctors who had advised against it due to potential health risks.
Her exceptional case earned her a spot in her country’s Book of Records two years ago, officially recognizing her as the nation’s smallest mother. As a child, she was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition responsible for her growth limitation.
Although surgery was once recommended to improve her mobility, Valeria declined, not wanting to rely on crutches. She has no regrets about this choice and values her independence deeply.
Now, as her daughter grows—already surpassing her mother in height at age 4—Valeria admits that carrying her has become physically demanding. Still, she leads a full life: working as a manicurist, maintaining her independence, and enjoying a happy marriage.
