Remember back in the day when Michael Jackson said he had vitiligo and nobody believed him? That collective dismissal set back vitiligo research, advocacy and information back for millions of people living with the disease. In this episode, Victoria Reese talks to "vitiligan" Justin Hall about his journey and advocacy with vitiligo.
About the guest: Justin Hall is a speaker, author and vitiligo advocate. Justin’s mission to bring awareness to the vitiligo community has sparked meaningful conversation around a disease that doesn’t typically get as much attention as it deserves, empowering those living with the disease, who need to feel powerful in their skin the most. His children’s book, Aiden’s Spots, follows a kindergartener living with vitiligo, on his first day of school. The book empowers children to embrace their differences, and educate those who may not understand them.
