A 26-year-old Aisha Muhammad has a rare skin disease called vitiligo. At the age of 8 her body began to become covered with white spots. Tired of constant harassment, a resident of London began to level the skin tone with the help of cosmetics. Every day she spent 40 minutes on such disguise. But Aisha decided to show herself the way she is in the framework of the BBC documentary.

He was the target for mockery, she was teased with "zebra"
"Even after graduation, the guys started calling me" zebra "and" Michael Jackson ", they followed me with their eyes, whispered behind my back." The
girl was spending 40 minutes on make-up every day before leaving home.
During the filming of the BBC documentary, Muhammad for the first time in 6 years has shown herself what she is.
A former student at Greenwich University admits that it was not easy for her to wash off her makeup before the camera. Before filming, she spent almost an hour on make-up, even if she needed to just take out the trash.
After the release of the program Aisha received a lot of messages with the words of support
"I was inspired by the shooting in a documentary film, when I washed off my makeup, I seemed to be free, and since then I only moisturize my skin and dye my eyelashes, I no longer worry about the skin tone," she says.
Now the girl is participating in a campaign to support people with vitiligo and plans to become an actress.
"I decided to give up tonal means because I want to change my life, I want to be myself," says the 26-year-old British.
