This is the World Vitiligo Day Conference here in Atlanta. We're having such a great time.

00:00:14:03 - 00:00:21:06

Dr. Amit Pandya

Right here, we have 250 people who are all part of the vitiligo community helping each other, encouraging each other.

00:00:21:13 - 00:00:30:27

Sharon King

Hey, guys. Litty Ligo here. This is my first conference, and it is wonderful. We are having such a great time. We have such wonderful speakers. We have great activities for the kids.

00:00:30:27 - 00:00:37:03

Dr. Amit Pandya

We're not just thinking locally or nationally. We're thinking internationally to try to advocate for more research.

00:00:37:06 - 00:00:45:16

Dr. John Harris

We've been studying vitiligo actually for six years together. We're going to learn about genetics, environmental exposures, inflammation. We think they all communicate together.

00:00:45:16 - 00:00:51:29

Dr. Khaled Ezzedine

I am here in Atlanta to make sure that we are hearing patient voices, which is for me the most important thing.

00:00:52:02 - 00:01:00:00

Dr. Amit Pandya

And that's what the Global Vitiligo Foundation is all about, trying to empower people and embrace them, so that they feel like they're part of a family.

00:01:00:17 - 00:01:05:17

Sharon King

It's just wonderful to be around so many members of our beautiful, lovely community.

00:01:05:27 - 00:01:10:17

Mark Braxton

Because we are one big family. Y'all take care. Peace.
