We live in a world where many people are greatly underrepresented. We have miles to go before every child can grow up seeing somebody who is like them equally represented in arts, literature, music, advertising, etc. Kyra is a success story. She is a singer and model with a rare skin condition called vitiligo. It affects 1% of the population and can be psychologically devastating. Accepting it was an important and inspiring part of Kyra’s story. Vitiligo makes her body look like a beautiful map of stars. At the same time, I can appreciate how difficult it must have been to accept the new look and all the unwanted attention that came with it. I hope many young girls will find inspiration in her story and her success.
