My name is V and I am from Georgia:

I have vitiligo and recently attended the World Vitiligo Conference. The experience was extremely enlightening and it has inspired me to help the vitiligo community out in any way I can. As such, I was wondering what opportunities I could take to help out the community and how I could start my involvement? This can range from reading vitiligo awareness books at local schools to speaking on the podcast. Thank you!

My name is Millicent - PPT Lead Advisor:

The conference was very education and insightful. It was good to see old friends and meet new one. The motivational speaker gave good advice and guidance about self-love and being who you are. Also, the women session was emotional in a good way. The advice, tears and struggles we still go through spoken about. I love the vendors, but wish there were some selling jewelry and/or clothing that had nothing to do with Vitiligo. Thanks!

CONGRATULATIONS to our Teen Advisors Priyanka Francis (CA) and Bella Guarino (NJ) who represented VITFriends at the June 2022 IDEOM meeting in Washington, D.C.

Who is IDEOM and what do they do:

Developing Evidence-Based Outcomes Measures to Evaluate the Impact of Treatments for Patients with Dermatological Diseases.

We are very PROUD of these ladies!
