KK Featured on Girl Scouts Cookies

[A-] | [A+]

KK’s Mom reached out to us when her daughter was being bullied in school at the age of nine.  At #VitiligoBond we put together programs to help build KK’s confidence and her self-esteem.  During one of our yearly photo shoots a local Georgia agency stumbled on our social media page and saw KK. Agency wanted to book KK immediately for some projects.   We made sure that they understood that anything they booked KK for would have to be in a positive light.  KK’s second gig came and her photo was selected to be used on the #GirlScout cookies.  We are happy for KK and our vitiligo community.  The #glutenfree cookies are being sold all over the USA. We are making a difference and an impact. Different is beautiful.

About

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.
