No More Bullying Vitiligo Youth

[A-] | [A+]

We had our first successful World Vitiligo Day event in Washington, DC on June 25th, 2016.  These are pictures from some of our youth representing for our vitiligo community.  Our youth was happy to see many people like them with vitiligo. This gave them hope and a sense of pride to know that they can overcome and that there is now a strong global vitiligo community support system for them.

No matter if you are a youth or an adult or in a different country we all continue to speak the same message about being bullied or discriminated because of vitiligo.

 

Vitiligo is a condition that we have no control over. We hope that as we continue to work together that we can make a change to let people know that vitiligo is not a myth.Shaun We hope that with more partnership, sponsors and donors that we can get funding and accomplish our advocacy needs, change insurance perspectives, make changes to legislation, find a cure, and end bullying and discrimination. #WVD2016

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.
