In 2002, Jake and Erin Herrin welcomed their conjoined twins, Kendra and Malia. While thrilled with their daughters’ arrival, they were concerned about their future. In 2006, the girls underwent a groundbreaking separation surgery involving 31 doctors over 24 hours. The operation allowed them to live independently.
Now 18 years old, Kendra and Malia have embraced life fully. They adjusted to walking and running with ease, attend school, and excel at drawing. Regarded as heroes by their peers, they inspire others by proving there are no hopeless situations.
The sisters share their journey on YouTube and social media, where tens of thousands follow them. They also support Kelly and Carter, another set of conjoined twins, by offering advice and encouragement based on their own experiences.
Kendra and Malia continue to show the world the power of resilience and determination.
