I remember a fateful day I walked into a Business Centre @ Ilupeju to photocopy my CV and seated there was one overzealous man whom after staring at me for a while walked up to me rubbing my face and asking with very annoying laugh, what is this little girl? I was so surprised, embarrassed, insulted and amazed that I asked him, do you have to touch me to ask that.
There are lots of ways to get involved with VITSAF and our work. If you or a loved one is living with vitiligo or a disfigurement or would like to know and understand more about about community.
