Video Discription |
I have Vitiligo. This means my immune system attacks the cells responsible for producing skin pigment. I have both pigmented and un-pigmented skin all over my body and this gives me a unique, spotty appearance. I would like to speak to this issue as it affects the Vitiligo community - many people with this condition experience significant stigma, psychological stress and social rejection. It feels important to both increase others‚ awareness and understanding of this condition while challenging all of us to consider how we relate to our own, and others, visible and invisible differences with empathy, care and compassionate curiosity.
Megan Relin is a clinical social worker who works with people on body acceptance and healing from trauma and eating disorders. She has been living with vitiligo for 20 years and tonight she will be sharing some of the lessons she’s learned due to having a visible difference. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx |
