Grab your tissues, gather 'round, and get ready to be inspired by this student's story of discovering (and accepting) her vitiligo. When Jesi Taylor was 15, she noticed she had the condition, which causes the loss of skin color in blotches, and she has grown to love her newfound skin over the years. "Every day I wake up and there's a new white patch somewhere on me," she tells Allure.

"I will never forget one day I was in the car, and my mom looked at me and was just like, 'You have to stop sucking the color off of your lips,'" Taylor added. "We went to the dermatologist, and that's when they were like, 'Oh, this is vitiligo.'"

But like all new things, learning to love her vitiligo was (and still is) a process, says Taylor, who was often bullied for looking "different" from her peers when she was younger. "It was a rough time," she says. "In middle school and high school, I got bullied a lot."

To combat the negative attention, Taylor began covering herself up with tights, scarves, and makeup, hoping that people would look the other way when she walked into a room. But after years of hiding behind her vitiligo, she's embracing it—sans makeup. "There was one day where I was like, 'I think I'm just going to go to work without makeup today.'...Everybody started coming up to me, and I started crying," she says. "And after that, I never wore makeup again."
