I first heard about Darcel de Vlugt on Twitter. Someone tweeted that they were auditioning for a tv show about her. I want to share her story with you because I think you may find inspiration through this beautiful young woman who has not let her struggle with vitiligo define her, or limit her successes.

It is only natural that we feel self-conscious about having vitiligo; after all, any deviation from the social norms in physical appearance attracts attention…and most times, it is unwanted.

Vitiligo has been reported among some species of domestic and wild animals. Some of these occurrences have been documented by veterinary journals and publications.
