June 25, World Vitiligo Day -
thank you Michael for your courage in speaking out about your vitiligo.
You did this amid a ๐ adversarial interview, at a time in healthcare where autoimmune disease was not really understood well, let alone discussed ๐
The world recognizes you today in our collective grief, as well as for your beauty, compassion, humanitarian work, artistry and World Vitiligo day - me, I will hold respectful space for the strength it took for you to share your private health information knowing the world would continue to judge + mock you โค๏ธโ๐ฉน
