My name is Mallory Habstritt and I am a proud vitiligo advocate. My organization, Be Brave With Mallory, is a movement rooted in self-love, vitiligo awareness, and the power of telling your unique story. My mission is to encourage all KIDS to “Be Brave,” because I believe that every skin story is worth telling and loving.
