Life can change in an instant—but so can our strength. Just ask Brooklinn Khoury.

One day, while visiting her cousin, Brooklinn was in the kitchen petting Diesel, an 8-year-old blue nose pit bull she knew and trusted. Without warning, the dog lunged at her, causing severe injuries to her upper lip. Despite immediate surgery, doctors couldn’t save the damaged area.

But that moment didn’t define her. What followed was a powerful story of resilience.

Healing, Inside and Out

Brooklinn has been open about her healing—physically and emotionally—documenting her journey on Instagram. She’s shared both her fears and her hope, writing, “When I was attacked, it was so hard to see what the future held for me.” Support from loved ones and fans reminded her to keep believing in the process.

Keeping It Real on Social Media

In a world of filtered perfection, Brooklinn uses Instagram to show real life—scars, setbacks, and all. As a skateboarder, she’s always embraced falls and failures, and now she’s doing the same with her recovery.

Refusing to Let the Injury Define Her

Even with multiple surgeries ahead, she’s embraced her femininity—shopping for lip gloss at Sephora and celebrating small joys. Her positivity is contagious.

A Love That Lifts Her

Brooklinn is dating Dance Moms alum Chloé Lukasiak. The couple recently marked a year together, with Brooklinn calling it “the greatest year of my life.”

Helping Others Through Her Story

Her Instagram isn’t just for her own healing—it’s a space for others, too. “If you’re going through something, physically or mentally, or just need someone to talk to, I’m here,” she says.

Brooklinn’s story is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we can choose light—and help others find it, too.
