Every flu season, I feel like I have to apologize and explain myself when I cough in public. And this year is 10 times worse. I can't be the only one, right? #itsnotcontagious #itschronic #cough #redbubble https://www.instagram.com/p/B9gxTijJ_r-/?igshid=7h9rr24ts7t8

National vitiligo day came and went June 25th, but those of us affected by this autoimmune disease live wth it daily. Two years ago my symptoms began. Took courage, and a few tears to tell my husband when I figured out was going on. To tell him it would spread, and continue with no end it sight to the pigment loss. Cause unknown, no cure. I feared he would no longer find me attractive. That it would challenge us in ways I could not predict. I cried and held my head down feeling defeated without any control of my destiny. He simply said "It will make you look exotic ❤️". ☺️ Some days I struggle with #acceptance. Today is one of those days. Frustrated with the lack in interest by the medical community to research what for many like myself is deeply painful, on a psychological level. Most days I embrace what makes me different, or as my husband puts it "makes you look exotic". 🙌🏻 #vitiligo #vitiligonation #vitiligoawareness #tryingtofindthesilverlining #fuckvitiligo #itsnotcontagious

Yassssssss! 

How many of us have started to notice how the consumption of the media affects our moods? Or affect the way we move throughout the world? I have a sense of fear and foreboding I never felt before and I could definitely use a day to call in black to work.
