Pick out five facts about Channtelle.

Chantelle Brown-Young was not born with vitiligo, but it has made her famous.
She is the first supermodel with the skin condition, which causes areas of skin
to lose their colour.
Chantelle was born in Toronto, Canada. At the age of four she started to
develop patches of white skin and was diagnosed with vitiligo. No one really
knows why one percent of people have this skin condition, and there is no real
cure.
At school, Chantelle was bullied for being different. The other kids often called
her a ‘cow’, because of the way her skin looked. She moved school several
times and finally left school at 16. From now on, she decided, she would be
proud of her skin.
She posted photos of herself on Facebook and was ‘spotted’ by a Canadian
YouTube star, Shannon Boodram, who asked her to be in a music video. It was
while she was doing that that her really ‘big break’ happened. Tyra Banks asked
her to be on America’s Next Top Model.
She didn’t win, but she had become famous. Her professional name now is
Winnie Harlow, and she has nearly three million followers on Instagram.
Little by little, she is changing people’s ideas about what beauty is.

The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in
your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your
ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can’t be any large-scale
revolution until there’s a personal revolution, on an individual level. It’s got
to happen inside first
Jim Morrison
