- Purplicious – June Month-Turn Your Facebook/Social Media Profile Purple – Vitiligo Awareness Month Launch-
This upcoming June spirit month, we’re proud to go purple for our 2nd annual virtual campaign. We celebrate and stand with those who have been bullied because of vitiligo. June is Vitiligo awareness month and June 25 is World Vitiligo Day! Feel free to use one of our purple post pics! Or just create your own.
You can wear purple lipstick, makeup, clothing… and post a pick under our Purplicious tab at www.facebook.com/vitiligobondinc. Make sure you let people know that you are going purple to support people who live with vitiligo. (You can do this on all your social media to help us get the word out)
You can also make donations to help us with our cause and to fund research at www.vitiligobond.org
Stay tuned more to come and thanks for your support!

Natasha Pierre McCarthy is the proud founder of Vitiligo Bond Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing support and encouragement to individuals with vitiligo.
From a vision through teaching as a Christian business professor, Vitiligo Bond was created. We educate through creative forms to patients and the public. Through vitiligo 101 sessions at Emory University with Dr. Holla, special community events, social media, partner support groups, public figures and state leaders we are able to bond and have available support for anyone suffering with vitiligo.
Vitiligo Bond has created a path for vitiligo awareness and positive expression.
We now have the following states through Governor Proclamations that recognize vitiligo awareness:
{Colorado,
Georgia,
Florida,
Indiana,
Louisiana,
Maryland,
Massachusetts,
Mississippi,
New Jersey,
North Carolina,
South Carolina,
& West Virginia}.
In addition, Vitiligo Bond has been recognized by Congressman Hank Johnson. Congressman Johnson was also instrumental in our advocacy efforts to help get special recognition during the month of June from our President Obama to recognize and stand together with people who suffer with vitiligo.
I believe that God created us for a purpose and everyone deserves the right to have fullness and a quality life. We all have the ability to shine.
Vitiligo Bond Inc. is constantly working to raise awareness of the mysterious illness and use their platform in order to fund research that will hopefully lead to the discovery of the cause and a cure for vitiligo.
