Biography

Carly Stoltenberg recounts her transformative experience in the documentary "Born Sexy Yesterday: Defining the Enigma of Beauty." She reflects on the day her life was irrevocably altered by Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), a rare autoimmune disorder that causes the immune system to attack the peripheral nervous system. Throughout her journey, Carly reveals that she often felt anything but courageous, emphasizing that the struggles women face in their fight for survival extend far beyond conventional narratives. Despite being affectionately dubbed Wonder Woman by her friends and family, she admits to feeling less than heroic during this challenging time, yet she has gained a profound understanding of resilience in the face of adversity.
