Vitiligoby Queen Beats The Bullies

A MOM who was called a ‘Dalmatian’ by bullies who picked on her skin condition is using her striking looks to empower women.

Stunning tanesha brown endured years of taunts because of her vitiligo – which causes white patches all over her body. but now the make-up artist is embracing her unique skin – and says men can’t get enough of her distinctive looks. Tanesha says, “I’m different. That’s the best part, I don’t ever have to walk into a party and feel like somebody is going to be there looking like me. They might have on the same dress as me, but they’ll never look like me and I embrace that I look different from everybody else.” Glamorous Tanesha, 32, from LA, suffered from low self-esteem and would cake her face in thick make-up after years of cruel remarks. The mom to 12-year-old twin boys says, “I’ve had vitiligo since I was five years old so I didn’t know that I looked different until I got to middle school – people made me realise I looked different. That was difficult for me because I just wanted to be what everybody considered normal. I just wanted to be myself and people made that difficult for me – to be just who I was.”
