World Vitiligo Day Goes Supersonic in Purple (Ep. 39)

A quick, punchy ride through the origins of World Vitiligo Day and the trailblazers who lit the fuse. We lift off with the origin story — Rome’s modest launchpad to Toronto’s full-throttle HQ.   Highlights on approach:

• A stop-the-room cameo from broadcast legend Lee Thomas
• Science talks so clear your neighbor could explain them
• AI-powered startup demos
• A choke-up moment at the Calico screening
• Community energy strong enough to recharge your phone — no cable required 

The numbers? Gravity-defying: 60 million reached on June 25 alone, arcing toward 150 million by week’s end. Not bad for one day—and a decade or two of rocket-building.   We close with Canada glowing purple and the countdown officially underway for WVD 2026 in Chandigarh.   Tap play for the feel-good stories, meet the trailblazers, and catch an orbit’s-eye view of what’s next 🚀
