OUR MISSION
200,000 Americans are diagnosed with vitiligo every year.
This number does not reflect the many Americans who self-diagnose nor demonstrate the global presence of this autoimmune disorder. Vitiligo is no longer considered rare due to the frequency of diagnosis.
Living with differences and experiencing major life changes is traumatic and comes with a range of emotions that are difficult to manage alone. Being subjected to bullying, avoidance, and uninformed opinions can lead to low self esteem, the development of complex mental health disorders and suicidal ideation. Our mission is to connect with and to ensure that the vitiligo community and our allies are educated and empowered while holding institutions accountable for delivering equitable, accessible, person-centered care.
