"Sometimes I deal with people who think my skin is burnt." This is what Abigail Esaba Boteng, a model from Ghana, who suffers from vitiligo (PCI) says.
This young woman, who has faced prejudice and discrimination from others for years, has now fully accepted her skin and is using her social media platform to raise awareness of this skin condition and encourage others to accept themselves.
Inspired by Winnie Harlow, a famous model with vitiligo, Abigail is now embarking on a career in fashion. He wants to break the stereotypes and show that Pachy's condition is not an obstacle to success.
Vitiligo is a skin condition that usually appears as lighter patches on the skin. These spots have a very small amount of melanin. Melanin is the pigment that gives color to our skin, hair and eyes.
