A 22-year-old woman has recently received a lot of attention after she spoke out about a rare disease that makes her look like a child. She developed a rare form of brain cancer, when she was just six months old and underwent chemotherapy that stunted her growth. Rae now stands at 3’10”—average height of an eight-year-old girl—despite being in her early 20s.

She recounted her story in a new documentary on TLC.  In the trailer for the show, Rae introduces herself saying, “If you were to look at me, you would think I’m just a normal little girl, doing normal little girl things with my fun, crazy family. But the truth is, I’m a woman.” The show, which premieres on January 11, 2022, shows Rae facing issues trying to do normal things that a 22-year-old woman does in everyday life.
