    From Atlanta to the World: How Our Annual 5K is Building Global Connections 

    Proud to see our Vitiligo TouCan 5K featured in @richwomanmag! What started as a local Atlanta race has grown into something beautiful – an international network supporting people from Georgia to Haiti to India. This Saturday, June 7th, we’ll gather on the BeltLine not just to run, but to show that our differences are our strength. When we show up for each other, we’re making vitiligo visible in a positive way and proving that understanding can bridge any distance.

    How to be joyful with vitiligo?

    Living with vitiligo can be a journey filled with challenges, self-discovery, and ultimately, empowerment.

    What Can You Expect on Your First Visit to A Dermatologist?

The dermatologist will perform a thorough examination of your skin, and possibly your hair and nails, to assess your overall skin health.…

    Overcome Vitiligo Stigma in Haiti

    We were contacted by a social worker on the ground in Haiti because the youth and adults are developing vitiligo because of the stress in Haiti. Some people are afraid of seeing their neighbors with vitiligo. We started bringing awareness to help reduce the fear of vitiligo in Haiti. People of Haiti also need basic resources. If you would like to be a part of the movement, feel free to donate on the following link. Thank you for your support. Fundraiser by Natasha Pierre McCarthy : Help Amara Shine: Overcome Stigma
