"Since the first day of school I faced bullying" - Chad Esau

Loading player...
Chad Esau was born to stand out with his striking features and soulful personality. But when he was younger, other children only paid attention to the patterns on his body.

Esau has vitiligo, a skin condition that affects pigmentation. “Since the first day of school, I faced bullying,” Esau says. “It was rough, when you want to play with other kids and they did not want to play with you.” He grew up in isolation, plagued with low self-esteem, until one day someone walked into Esau’s life and taught him to accept himself.
