Brien Rajs: Naučila sam da budem svoja, lepa sam i sa vitiligom! || Hello Magazin!

Brien Rajs je bivša manekenka koja je godinama skrivala da ima problem sa kožom. Zapravo, ona ima vitiligo, u prevodu, gubljenje pigmenta kože.

Brien se stidela svog stanja, a onda je rešila da skine šminku i svima pokaže svoje pravo lice.

- U početku sam želela da izgledam normalno, pa sam skrivala kožu gde kod sam išla. Svako jutro mi je bilo potrebno 45 minuta da stavim šminku. Plašila sam se da kažem ljudima kako izgledam. Poenta mog posla bila je da budem atraktivna i samouverena, i postojao je pritisak da izgledam savršeno - rekla je Rajs.

Dodala je da sada naučila da bude svoja.

- Sada, umesto da me bude sramota, naučila sam da budem svoja. Znam da nisam savršena i ovo koristim da osnažim druge žene. Svi mi imamo strahove, poredimo se sa drugima, ali treba da volimo našu kožu i da se ne osećamo manje vredni ljubavi - dodala je Brien.

It took me a long time to be confident and comfortable walking around with no makeup or letting people know that I have vitiligo on my face. Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease where your body attacks its own skin cells and you lose pigmentation. My vitiligo is only on my face, and it caused me to lose nearly half of my pigmentation. Now I wear makeup because I enjoy trying different looks and styles, and not because I'm hiding my face anymore. True confidence comes when you stop comparing yourself to others and you love and accept yourself for how you are?. Be YOU. You're not meant to be or look like anyone else ?

Otkrila je da su je ljudi gledali kada se prvi put u javnosti pojavila bez šminke:

- Ljudi jesu gledali, ali sam ja govorila sebi da to rade zato što sam lepa - kazala je Brien.
