Just when you think you might be able to define the term “beauty,” I invite you to take a look at model Chantelle Winnie’s stunning cover shot!
Winnie was born Chantelle Brown-Young in 1994 in Toronto, to parents of Jamaican heritage. At the age of four, she contracted vitiligo, a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes a loss of pigment on the skin in patches around the body, particularly the face and hands.
By the time she entered school, Winnie has being teased — and even beat up — by her classmates. Some likened her to a cow and “mooed” at her, while others simply avoided her in the mistaken fear that they might “catch” the condition.
Winnie’s life took a turn when pictures from her Facebook page were seen by a YouTube personality, who encouraged her to model and shot a video that soon went viral. By 2015, she had found herself on fashion runways from New York to Madrid, alongside models like Naomi Campbell.
