Telisha Gibson

A few weeks ago, I was contacted by Telisha Gibson on Twitter and she asked me to check out this link. (http://drivensociety.com/perfectly-flawed-a-young-womans-purpose/#.ULuuZuSpRuk) I am so happy I did because I was inspired by her story. Her story brought to my attention, a skin condition that I was not familiar with, Vitiligo. Vitiligo is a skin condition where there is loss of pigment (melanin) in areas of the skin, resulting in irregular white patches. In researching this condition, I found that this affects people of all races and there is no cure. There are treatments to help slow the loss of melanin but that is not guaranteed.

Telisha Gibson is a beautiful woman who is fighting for a good cause. I am thrilled that she is not letting her condition stop her from moving forward.

Smart Curves:  Please tell me about yourself and your organization?

Telisha: I am 23 years old. I am the president of Telisha D. Gibson Project Inc. (Non-Profit) Within my organization I have started a campaign called Perfectly Flawed. PF is a movement teaching and showing people all across the world that embracing and understanding uncontrollable conditions such as vitiligo is possible and I am a living testimony of that. Having vitiligo has been an uphill battle, from being depressed and suicidal to understanding and accepting. The PF motto "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain."

Smart Curves: What motivated you to start your organization?

Telisha: My experiences in life honestly is what has pushed me into this field. I want to help people. I know what it feels like to not fit in and feel you don't have a place in life. Seeing the world in a negative light, never seeking and taking a hold of the good that the world has to offer.

Smart Curves: What is the overall goal of your organization?

Telisha: Our overall goal is to spread awareness about this beautiful condition called vitiligo. I want the world to see the good, the bad, the myths, the facts, and the faces. Our way of doing that is creating a documentary which is now in pre-production. We want to take this documentary and send it to film festivals.

Smart Curves: How can people get involved?

Telisha: People can reach out to me on twitter and instagram @justflawed or www.facebook.com/atswork  or emailatswork6@gmail.com
