OWWR, Old Westbury Web Radio's DJ Sandra Dee interviewed New York actor and singer, Caitlin Mesiano, who was born with a unilateral cleft lip. During her early years, she experienced bullying and was made to feel like an “other”. Following her surgery, as she entered adulthood, Caitlin began to use her voice and talents to educate others and raise awareness regarding cleft palate.
Now she serves on Smile Train’s Cleft Community Advisory Council, which works to strengthen the U.S. cleft community. Listen to the exclusive OWWR interview below to learn about her experiences, Smile Train, and the impact on those who suffer with cleft palate.
