Living Dappled is a blog and community that empowers women with vitiligo to find health and happiness.
Our Mission is Three-Pronged.
Provide the latest, verified medical and health education and news about vitiligo that allows readers to be their own advocates on their health journey.
Curate a guide to living with vitiligo that includes the tools, resources and products that empower our readers to live the life they want.
Create a safe space for connection and storytelling that helps our readers feel seen, inspired and ready to love the skin they’re in.
We believe we’re better together.
We can’t do this alone. We lean on our community to tell stories, share photography and be the voice we reflect through our content. We tap into the expertise of leaders across the fields of dermatology, psychology, nutrition and counseling to bring grounded research on vitiligo and its mental and physical impact. We also partner with brands that we believe have the resources and products that our readers are looking for.
Our Manifesto
We’re women with vitiligo (and friends) cheering on the next woman with vitiligo—because life with a skin condition is better together.
We’re your trusted guide to diagnosis and all things beauty and skin shopping. We’ll give you a plan for living with vitiligo that puts you in control—with the help of our trusted community reviews and expert medical partners.
We’ve got the stories that will make you laugh—and cry—because we’ve been there too, and we get you. Our stories are powerful—and your story matters.
We’re not taking a backseat to living with vitiligo—we’re holding your hand and walking you through it while carrying a megaphone to ensure we’re part of the conversation that is redefining beauty and advocating for the future.
We’re all about cozy retreats, pool parties, fireside conversations, dinner parties. You’ll find us through our digital magazine and in your inbox—our favorite place to be when we’re not together.
We believe dappled is darling, and the only stopping us, is us.
OUR STORY
After getting vitiligo at the age of seven, Living Dappled Founder Erika Page lost 100% of her skin’s pigment over the course of twenty years. Growing up in a small Maryland town, she never knew others with vitiligo, and struggled to love herself and her skin and to feel understood in her experience. In her twenties, she did a Google search for vitiligo—and found the results to be sparse. In 2016, she founded Living Dappled to be a digital safe haven for women with vitiligo to come together to share their stories—and later started tapping experts in dermatology, psychology and other fields to help this community even further.
“I want to create the platform I wish I had as a girl growing up with vitiligo–because no one should ever feel alone in this.”
