If I had to choose a hero/role model for my Granddaughter I could do no better than give her Winnie Harlow to look up to. This woman has it all; brains, beauty, spirituality and the courage of a lioness.
Upon first seeing Winnie you can't help but notice the patchy skin condition (Vitiligo) overlaying her hidden beauty. But as you continue to look and analyze the person before you it becomes apparent that the Vitiligo is what's hidden behind a most beautiful smiling face with sparkling eyes and abundant spirit.
Winnie's presence completely engulfs and overtakes us as we rediscover what the romantic artists must've envisioned while painting and sculpting mythological Goddesses; Aphrodite, Athena, Persephone and such. This young lady has not only been a beacon of hope to others living with conditions of the skin, but she's been a speaker at events targeting the restoration of self esteem in young girls and grown women alike. Winnie reminds us all of how inner beauty seems to always trump outward appearances. It's a shame that we've bought in so committedly to what's been marketed to us as beauty. But with Winnie fearlessly doing her thing, times are definitely a changing.
Helps woman with Vitiligo accept herself
