We can all be different from each other in many ways. For example, in genetics, family background, life choices, and the way we talk, listen, learn, and behave. However, some people, like the heroine of today’s article, have to accept that they are unique and different. But she was able to accept this situation and make the best of it.
She had to learn very early on to accept her appearance. Barbarhat Suejasu is a Brazilian model and activist who has become the face of a vitiligo awareness campaign called SejaSuaMarca. She is often asked questions about what her childhood with vitiligo was like.
In her social media post, she mentions that she gets these questions most often from mothers who have children with vitiligo. In the same post, she tells her fans that her first spot appeared when she was 4 years old.
She took the diagnosis perfectly well and never thought she was an ugly child or wanted to be like other girls. Barbarahat admitted that she always accepted herself as she was and didn’t want to change anything. And she had a perfectly normal childhood.
She was a very happy child, always loved and somewhat spoiled. It was easy for her to make new friends and she was surrounded by people who loved her and wanted the best for her. The first difficulties arose as soon as she started school.
Difficulties only motivated the girl to get stronger.
People knew who she was. This made her unique in their eyes and she was always the center of attention because of it. She had a hard time at school. The attitudes of older children made her feel “out of place,” to say the least. But as Barbarchat herself recalls, she would come home and receive her mother’s love and support. And all was forgotten.
On her social media, the girl recalls how her mother cried with her, defended her everywhere and in everything and was her support and backbone in everything. She became the role model for the girl in her later life. She learned a lot from her mother.
Today this girl is an inspiration to everyone around her, not just people with vitiligo.
Today the name of Barbarhat Sueyasu is recognized not only in the world of models, but also in the world of ordinary people who are looking for support and inspiration.
She often mentions what she has gone through in emphasizing her growth as a person and as a woman. She teaches people the importance of self-acceptance, starting at an early age. Thanks to her, many parents know how to support their children with skin conditions.
Speaking to her subscribers, she writes that she is grateful for all the challenges life has presented and is presenting to her. These moments have made her stronger. She likes being dirty and doesn’t want to change anything about her appearance. The childhood memories she carries with her for the rest of her life.
