Just before the Valentine's Day, our Instagram community expressed their ambitions for this year. Amongst the variety of goals shared, two themes emerged - to 'experience something new' and to 'eliminate white spots'. 

Here are highlights from our newsletter that was sent out today:

☀️ FEELING GOOD: Mamta Mohandas, a renowned actress, singer and producer, has poetically shared her battle with vitiligo

💘 DATING SHOW: Tanya Manhenga is one of the 10 contestants on the popular British dating show 'Love Island', which is being filmed just off the coast of South Africa. 

👋 LET'S MEET: at AAD Congress on March 16, 2023 or at Iasi Dermatological Spring on April 25, 2023.

📺 LOOSE NUTS: The first commercial campaign for vitiligo The Pursuit went live on FOX, ABC and other major networks, voiced by Morgan Freeman. This campaign marks the introduction of the first FDA-approved prescription treatment for vitiligo. 

So, let's dive into the conversation!

 

P.S. The unexpected, positive reception of this pharmaceutical advertising caused a stir within the vitiligo community, overturning the traditional negative outlook.
