International Women's Day - Empowering Women

At the weekend, I spent an enjoyable afternoon listening to talks and presentations from a range of local women to celebrate International Women's Day.  I was approached by April of April'sDawn, an old school friend, to present my story and tell other women about my life with Vitiligo and how I went on to launch Vitiliglow.

Many of the talks I heard today were about issues that can affect women either physically, mentally or emotionally and people shared their experiences of not only stigma and prejudice, but also of courage and hope.  I told the audience that Vitiligo really affects my confidence and self esteem and about how I wanted to be able to blend in and feel like 'myself again.'  It is my choice to cover up my patches with a product that is tailor made to meet the needs of people with Vitiligo and because I couldn't find a product on the market that did exactly that, was why I set up Vitiliglow.

It was really interesting to hear about the experiences of another woman with Alopecia - hair loss - and the reasons why she choses to wear a wig at certain times, but at other times (like today) she felt confident not to.  She explained how she had been stared at and subject to nasty comments about her bald head.  Although people shouldn't make others feel bad about themselves, unfortunately it does happen and I strongly believe that products - whether it's a wig or a camouglage spray for the skin - should be available for people so that the can choose to hide the condition that affects their self esteem if they want to.

Although the theme of the event was empowerment and self esteem, I don't think I will ever be comfortable enough to be seen without having covered my patches.  But, I found the day very empowering and I hope that I helped to inspire other women as I took a condition that affects my confidence and managed to turn it into a positive experience.

If Vitiligo or any other skin condition affects you, please comment below or private message me at info@vitiliglow.co.uk.  I am always happy to hear about your experiences and offer any support and guidance that I can.

It's been interesting to follow your progress and to read about other people's experiences. I have had vitiligo for 29 years, I'm quite luciky, as it's worse on my hands and arms not so bad on my face, YET. But it has affected my life dramatically. When it appeared on my face my husband left me. He said some horrible things to me like I look like a patch work quilt. I lost everything my home and my self confidence. For the last five years I've kept myself to myself, I never go out because I haven't got the confidence. I have my beautiful dog that I show and that's my lot. When I saw this product launch on Dragens Den I was excited. I don't want people to say "what a shame" or look at me for the wrong reasons. I can't wait to try this product out. Thank you Polly for caring enough to put this massive effort in. X

After being in relationship with my wife for years, she broke up with me. I did everything within my reach to bring her back but all was in vain, I wanted her back so badly because of the love I had for her, I begged her with everything, I made promises but she refused. I explained my problem to my friend and he suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring her back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before three days. He cast the spell and surprisingly on the second day, my wife called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all she said was that she was so sorry for everything that had happened she wanted me to return to her. She also said she loved me so much. I was so happy and went to her that was how we started living together happily again.
