Life Lessons from Winnie Harlow

Hey there,

 So I was reading about this very popular model, Winnie Harlow. So before I read about her I asked around for who she was. I asked if maybe she had an accident or if it was make up or something. But actually she has a skin condition called vitiligo. 

As a child she had to change schools numerous times and eventually dropped out of high school because of several verbal harassment and bullying from other children who would normally call her a cow, zebra etc.

I bet at that time she never expected or saw herself as a model. Her self esteem must have dropped and crashed because she contemplated suicide at a point. You know models are known for having the best skin, best hair and obviously the best bodies but Winnie lacked the skin part. Now she is known to be "a successful model with Vitiligo ".

She is also a public speaker who posted a YouTube video titled "Vitiligo: a skin condition, not a life changer" . That is a very powerful and deep title because we have a lot to learn from Winnie. This is not a biography of Winnie but it's something to help make us learn from her.

When she was younger she was called a cow, zebra etc. This happens to a lot of us, because we are sometimes called names or made fun of because of some things we are born with or because of some things we do. But we should never let those things bring us down. Never ever. The funny thing is that those that used to call her names are nowhere to be found or might be successful but have not reached the level of fame or success that the "zebra" has gotten to.

You don't know the future, just imagine if she actually committed suicide, I would not be writing this in the first place, she would just have destroyed the future that God had planned for her. Things might not look good now , but trust me everything would get better and you never know what would happen in the future.

Always remember that you are beautiful just the way you are and never let the words of others bring you down but rather let it be what would drive you to success.
