It’s so incredible to be able to celebrate what’s different about us, but when these features are closely linked to our family lineage, it’s even more special.
An 18-month-old baby girl in Ridgeland, South Carolina, was born with a gorgeous white streak in her hair, making her the fourth generation in her family with this unique characteristic.
The baby’s mother, 23-year-old Brianna Worthy, shared an adorable photo on her Facebook page of her holding her daughter, showing off their matching white streaks.
The trait first appeared in Worthy's great-grandmother Jaonne, 59, then her grandmother Jennifer, 41, and then to Worthy herself. Her daughter MilliAnna was next to follow suit, and only time will tell if she will be the last.
The white streak isn't just a coincidence - it's actually due to a condition called poliosis, which results in a lack of pigmentation in a portion of skin or hair.
It's so amazing to see this family embrace their unique characteristic, rather than try to hide it or live in denial.
Worthy told Inside Edition that she hopes that her daughter will embrace her individuality throughout her life.
Here's hoping: both mom and daughter look amazing. It's not only a beautifully unique feature, it's also an incredibly special way to be linked to their family's previous generations.
