Sasha, who is partially deaf and has had issues with bullying in school, started her own anti-bullying campaign #Embrace.
Sasha's mum Wendy says her daughter's disabilities have not held her back.
She said: "Sasha is home schooled due to bullying, and has started an anti bullying campaign called #Embrace, to try and stop online bullying and learn to embrace each other. Sasha is partially deaf with other disabilities and is encouraging others to embrace them self and push beyond their own barriers."
Sasha has organised a pageant on June 1 in Ellesmere Port for children with disabilities who are new to pageants to encourage confidence and embrace natural beauty!
