I'm Sofia Morello, and I have vitiligo.

When I was four, a tiny pale spot appeared on my skin. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but as time passed, more patches started to show. My parents were worried, and we visited doctors who explained that I had something called vitiligo. I was too young to fully understand, but I knew it made me look different.

By the time I turned six, my vitiligo had become more noticeable, and kids at school began treating me differently. Some didn’t want to touch me because they thought they could "catch" it. They called me names and made me feel like I didn’t belong.

Through it all, my supportive family stood by me. At first, they focused on helping me stay strong and embrace who I am. But along the way, we realized that sharing my story and raising awareness didn’t just help me—it helped others too. That’s why we created Perfection by Sofia.

This site is more than just my journey. It’s about creating a space where people who feel different—whether from vitiligo or any other condition—can find strength, support, and a sense of belonging. As this community grows, so will the site. We’re building something bigger, something that will evolve to bring more people together.
