    BRAVO to you, Robert! I am glad that you are comfortable with who you are. You are not alone in your experience. It was not my intent to share my story with others to show them how they cannot accept, but to show them that they can accept who they are, regardless of who they are.

    A friend of mine< Maggie, who is african-american, has severe vitiligo, especially on her face. She was very reclusive for many years and would not even leave her house in fear of the treatment, stares, etc.

    Through the help of members of the NVFI she has grown to such a beautiful person, both inside and out, and has become a valuable member of the NVFI and the vitiligo community as a whole. She is a living example of someone who has truly accepted who she is - a person living with vitiligo, not a person letting vitiligo live their life for them. If anyone wants to see a beautiful picture of Maggie, here is a link (Scroll down to the bottom of the page, left-hand side. that is Maggie)
