Meet the members of the Dappled Darlings Collective in this six-part Instagram Lives series hosted by Erika Page, Founder and CEO of Living Dappled. From Kentucky and based in Florida, Victoria first got segmental vitiligo at the age of 25, with the vitiligo appearing only on one side of her face, most notably marking her eyelashes and eyebrow. At first, she hid her vitiligo with hats and makeup, but the more she shared her vitiligo publicly, the more she found the courage to overcome the fear of what others were thinking about her. Today she creates content on Instagram to help raise awareness for the condition and the mental and emotional challenges that can come with it.
