Winnie Harlow is one of the most well known people that suffers from vitiligo, although she doesn't really "suffer" as much as fights for. I learned about Winnie Harlow before I even started to do research. Winnie was bullied when she was younger, people used to say she looked like a cow. She showed people that she wasn't a "cow" by winning America's Next Top Model (season 21). Winnie is a brave, beautiful activist representing the vitiligo condition.
