Riya Patel - Vitiligo Pride - Student Feature
from Humanity Rising VOICES · host Humanity Rising
Episode #13: Riya Patel on #WhatCauseInspiresYou podcast series! My name is Riya Patel, a rising senior at American High School, and I founded the Vitiligo Pride Community in the summer of 2019, as a way to raise awareness and funds to find a cure for the skin condition, Vitiligo. I was inspired to begin this community by my firsthand experience with this disease, and I want to help those who were not given the same opportunities as me. My goal is to break the perfect skin stigma in today's society and bring diversity in our everyday environments, while donating our profits to research foundations and organizations that devote their efforts to helping the Vitiligo community.
