TWH Guests bringing hope to the idea....

"Turning white changes my color but doesn't change my personality. Living with Vitiligo allows me to educate and empower others as I manifest my highest potential, regardless of what I look like."

-Maia La Ville

This is the 7th anniversary of 911 and I hope all of us will take a silent moment today/tonight in honor of those that lost their lives and to their families.

Today was such a great day for the TWH project (Turning White in Hollywood). I finally reached J.D. Runnels, or rather he reached out to me and we had a great conversation about the project. I really hope J.D. and his wife will fly up to LA so JD can really give us his one on one perspective of living with Vitiligo. He sounds like a very interesting man with a diverse background.

To top that off my 1st guest on the show will be flying from Atlanta, Georgia to share her life experiences on the subject as well. Robin is writing a book and is the former spokesperson for Dermablend Cosmetics featured on the Guthy-Renker Infomercials. So, many of us are excited to hear her story of challenges and triumphs in living with Vitiligo.

I am still crossing my fingers for Dr. Grimes in hopes her schedule will free up for this next taping of TWH. We will see.

My other guest who is a superb celebrity make-up artist, Pam Farmer has been swamped with 15 hour days lately. Today she was providing make up for Jennifer Lewis -Disney and text me to say she wants to be a guest on the show. The project is getting it's buzz on and I really hope that the children truly benefit from all of these amazing people who either have vitiligo or are acquainted with those that do.


One step at a time but looks like they are becoming fast steps!!

Ciao,

Maia
