My memoir-Strong in the Skin I’m In
Strong in the Skin I’m in is a book I have been writing for over 6 months. After several years of sharing my story across various media outlets, I realised I wanted to share my story in one place where I could whole-heartedly discuss the pros and cons of living with a visible skin condition in today’s society. I was diagnosed at a tender age of 21 years old and had a bright future ahead. I had dreams and a clear vision of where I wanted to be in life. Vitiligo however caused an enormous amount of disruption to my education and my life in my early 20’s and 30’s. How was I able to cope with all these visible skin changes coupled with maintaining a normal life to the outside world?
In my memoir, I reveal the challenges faced from all aspects of my student life to becoming a mother and working as a professional in teaching as a secondary school teacher. This is a book where I discuss both the negatives and positives of overcoming Vitiligo and achieving my goals in life despite having Vitiligo continuously spread across my body.
