Get More Understanding
Vitiligo (vit-i-li-go) is a pigmentation disorder in which melanocytes (the cells that make pigment) in the skin are destroyed. As a result, white patches appear on the skin in different parts of the body. Similar patches may also appear on both the mucous membranes (tissues that line the inside of the mouth and nose), and the retina (inner layer of the eyeball). The hair that grows on areas affected by vitiligo may also turn white.

Here are some Quotes from the 2012 gathering:
We are beautiful butterflies
Time for our transformation
Some people are rejected even by their own families
Picked out to be Picked on
* Millie has walked with dignity, with her head high through this...I know that I can too
I will reach out to others
I will share about VITFriends and about vitiligo
It is about education and awareness
We will NOT remain in the valley
Our skin is Perfect....We are PERFECT
Millie referred to as "The White Lady"
The full support of a church community
Thank you to Pastor Holmes and First Lady LaTanya Holmes and the Gethsemane Missionary Baptist Church family.
