Every time I applied to UWI, the class timetable never aligned with my work schedule 😩 Then, in August 2022, I came across UWI Mona's Weekend Programme (WEP) while searching on Google. Classes are held on Saturdays only face to face, which was perfect because my days off at the time were Saturdays and Sundays πŸ₯Ήβ€οΈ I applied in August 2022, started classes in September 2022, and completed my degree in May 2026! πŸŽ“β€οΈ Want to earn your BSc degree in 4 years or less while working fulltime?

Vitiligo starts differently for everybody πŸ’œπŸŽ—πŸ¦‹ #vitiligoawareness #vitiligocommunity by @shantolmf
What did I use to get my vitiligo to this stage? The answer is NOTHING! I never used anything to intentionally remove my pigmentation. My vitiligo naturally progressed to universal vitiligo. BUT… looking back over a period of about 5 years, I noticed a trend. πŸ‘€ These are five of the things that were happening in my life during the period when my vitiligo was spreading the most, with STRESS being the biggest recurring factor I noticed. πŸ’œ 7 minutes long 😩 but how could I explain 5 years in 60 seconds? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ€·β€β™€οΈ #vitiligoawareness #vitiligocommunity by @shantolmf
I also thought that people were born with vitiligo until I developed vitiligo at age 13 #fyp #vitiligoawareness by @shantolmf
When someone says, β€œA because yuh white mek yuh pretty.” 🀣🀣 Baby, I’ve been THAT beautiful girl at every stage of my vitiligo journey, before the patches, while they were spreading, and now. πŸ’œ Vitiligo changed my skin, not my beauty. πŸ’œ #vitiligoawareness #VitiligoCommunity by @shantolmf
Our first cards simply said, β€œAlways remember, tough times don’t last, tough people do.” πŸ’œ Then @taylorrushell one of our vitiligo parents, told me how motivating the quote was for her and that she keeps the card on her dresser. πŸ₯ΉπŸ’œ And just like that… a light bulb went off! πŸ’‘ Why not make each card different? πŸ€”πŸ€” So I decided to adjust the cards and add different motivational quotes about vitiligo, confidence, strength and life in general. You never know when a few words of encouragement might be exactly what someone needs. πŸ’œ When you purchase your vitiligo awareness kit, take a picture of your quote and remember to tag us @sosjamaicavitiligosupport πŸ«ΆπŸ½πŸ’œ #vitiligoawareness #shadeseofStrengthJamaicaVitiligoSupport #vitiligocommunity by @shantolmf
