More On Winnie Harlow & Michael Jackson’s Journey With Vitiligo
According to healthinsight.ca, Winnie Harlow was diagnosed with vitiligo at the age of four. Per the outlet, vitiligo is a skin condition that affects one in every hundred people and involves white patches appearing on different parts of their body. Medium reports that Michael Jackson began experiencing the effects of the condition in 1993. According to his son, Prince, Michael had “a lot of insecurity” around it, per PEOPLE.
“When people make up stories that I don’t want to be who I am, it hurts me. It’s a problem for me. I can’t control it. But what about all the millions of people who sit in the sun to become darker, to become other than what they are? Nobody says nothing about that,” Michael reportedly explained while speaking with Oprah in 1993. “It’s in my family, I can’t control it. It makes me very sad… I try to control it, and using makeup evens it out because I have blotches on my skin, and I have to even it out. But you know what’s funny? Why is that so important? That’s not important to me.”
Most recently, Harlow’s journey with vitiligo was commemorated by Madame Tussauds New York when they unveiled a wax figure of her in honor of World Vitiligo Day. The model ultimately called the honor a “stamp in time for representation.”
