Deep Dive In Vitiligo

World Vitiligo Day Goes Supersonic in Purple (Ep. 39)


Listen Later

A quick, punchy ride through the origins of World Vitiligo Day and the trailblazers who lit the fuse.
We lift off with the origin story — Rome’s modest launchpad to Toronto’s full-throttle HQ.
 
Highlights on approach:
  • A stop-the-room cameo from broadcast legend Lee Thomas
  • Science talks so clear your neighbor could explain them
  • AI-powered startup demos
  • A choke-up moment at the Calico screening
  • Community energy strong enough to recharge your phone — no cable required 
  • The numbers? Gravity-defying: 60 million reached on June 25 alone, arcing toward 150 million by week’s end. Not bad for one day—and a decade or two of rocket-building.
     
    We close with Canada glowing purple and the countdown officially underway for WVD 2026 in Chandigarh.
