You Are Strong | You Are A Warrior | You Are Lit

aka Litty Ligo Vitiligo Community Network   |   Mattapan, MA   |  www.littyligo.org

Mission

We encourage you to LIVE. Living with differences and experiencing major life changes can be traumatic and come with a range of emotions. Being subjected to bullying, avoidance, and uninformed opinions can lead to low self esteem, the development of complex mental health disorders and suicidal ideation. We strive to ensure that the vitiligo community and our allies are educated and empowered while holding institutions accountable for delivering culturally competent, person-centered care.
