PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION|MARKET PHOTO WORKSHOP

3/24/2018

0 Comments

 
Let me begin with apologising for being so quiet.  I've been busy  with the Incubator Program at Maket Photo Workshop since July 2017. It's been a phenomenal opportunity.  These months were tough, testing, educating and just all round out of this world. Its been like nothing i could ever have imagines. I'll share more about the experience in my next post. The final objective of the program was to exhibit or publish. Since I've always wanted to exhibit in  a gallery, i chose the EXHIBITION. 

Here's the invite, please join me if you free. The project aims to raise awareness for Vitiligo and promote self love and appreciation. I'm extremely proud and hope you all will love it too.
​
See you at the Market Photo Workshop. Your support like always will be appreciated. 

Send you all loads of Love...

Totalsport Women's Day Race-Johannesburg

9/15/2017

0 Comments

 
Wednesday, 9 Aug 2017 ... Our beautiful #teamloveauthentic ladies ran the awesome Totalsport Womens Day Race together on Womens Day. It was a chilly and icy morning, but the vibrance of the pink surroundings and friendly faces of the thousands of ladies and supporting gentlemen made the cold feel like a tiny drawback. It was  a super fun morning indeed. Such a refreshing experience. Well done ladies on successfully completing the 10km race through our historic Johannesburg.

Enjoy the video to see the fun that was had.

BENONI COLOURFUL RUN - 2017

9/11/2017

0 Comments

 
LOVEauthentic together with Strictly Signs hosted a colour point along the route of the Benoni Colourful Run. We gathered a team to assist on the day, our awesome volunteers helped with the arrangements and were up bright and early to make this day an absolute success. 

The race started at 0800 so our volunteers, needed to be in Benoni by 0645. Everyone rose bright and early, Vanisha drove from the South and Matilda & her cutiepies Ubered just to get to us. I though this was so super special.

We weren't really sure what to expect at this event, all we knew was that we were there to represent LOVEauthentic, increase our visibility and ultimately assist in raising awareness for Vitiligo.  

What was suppose to be work, turned out to be a colourful explosion of fun. The runners were so driven to finish successfully, families played and laughed, everyone was playful, happy and delightfully energised. We enjoyed every minute of showering  colour all over the runners and when runners were few and far between, we turned on each other.  We experience that shear exhilaration of just being kids for a day.  

Life is about moments, and this was one of those, felt really good to just enjoy the people (runners, fellow volunteers and the organising committee), place and energy around us. 

The Benoni Colourful Run, was host by the Vikings Cycling Club & Benoni Harriers in support of Kid Haven. Well done to all the sponsors and volunteers who made this event possible. To a job well done, 

To our LOVEauthentic team, Nasreen, Vanisha, Kashmira, Kyle, Yolanda, Matilda, Nolwandle, Owami, Vanisha, Karina, Lagan, Jay  ,  Saraswati & the Strictly signs team, thanks for showing up. Appreciate each and everyone of you.

2017 Dermatology Congress | LOVEauthentic Exhibition

8/26/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
LOVEauthentic was part of the 2017 Dermatology Congress, hosted in Pretoria from the 24 - 27 Aug 2017 .  
The highlight of the Congress for us was the :
  • Vitiligo Updates Session presented by Vitiligo Society of South Africa (VSSA) & South African Society of Dermatologic Surgery (SASDS) &
    • ​​In our continuous effort to raise  awareness of the Vitiligo, it's our strategy to surround ourselves with specialists that conduct and publish researched articles on the subject. The session featured local and international Dermatological experts. They've all dedicated their time and efforts to understand, research and assist people living with Vitiligo. Today we better better understand the condition. Realising that there's a vast number of individuals  in the world that share our common goal,  is indeed comforting.
  • Art Exhibition hosted by Adcock Ingram, where we exhibited our Love the Authentic you Collection. Featuring of Vitiligo Stars​
    • This great opportunity presented itself early this year. We collaborated with Vitiligo Society South Africa & Adcock Ingram,  to exhibit our work at the Dermatology Congress together with other artist. This was a huge movement in the right direction for Loveauthentic. Our exposure and work is finally reaching the avenues we hoped to reach. Thanks to all our vitiligo stars, supporters and our sponsors. You all have made this possible. Thank you to VSSA Chairperson, Dr Raboobee, for the invite. 
 
  • Lessons Learnt 
    • We realised that Vitiligo awareness is something that's done within a family like society. People who are personally affected by vitiligo in some way are the ones that do the best work. Like kinds gather together to create a movement of change.
    • Its equally emotional and difficult for doctors to deal with patients with Vitiligo, as it is for us. This forum provided doctors with advise on how to effectively deal with Vitiligo patients and their families. This aspect is possible always overlooked. So if it seems that your doctor may be insensitive, if could relate back to them not knowing how to support you emotionally. 
    • Research and development is a continuous process. We're lucky to have these dedicated professionals who've chosen to assist all of us.
    • We're unfortunately not in a position to share the content of the presentations as they are the intellectual property of the specialist. As new publications are made available by VSSA and SASDA, we'll share them on our page as well.   Your local Dermatologist will also be able to share the new advancements.

COME WALK A MILE IN OUR SHOES | WORLD VITILIGO DAY FUN 4KM WALK

7/11/2017

0 Comments

 
It was a beautiful day indeed.

We walked a 4km journey together, each step was symbolic of our movement towards a brighter future and a simultaneously a movement away from the struggles of our past. 

We walked together in support of everyone living with vitiligo. 
We walked together for self love and self appreciation. 

Meet all these amazing people who took time out of their day to support us in celebrating World Vitiligo Day.  As the clock moved closer to 11am,  people from near and far kept flowing in, it was the most delightful sight. We thank each and everyone of you for being there. We're grateful for your support. 
  
A special thank you to our photographers who managed to capture the day so brilliantly. 

We are really so grateful for the love and care you guys took in capturing every moment.

GRATEFUL TO OUR PARTNERS FOR HELPING US MAKE OUR 2017 WORLD VITILIGO DAY A SUCCESS

6/20/2017

0 Comments

 

With only 5 days to go to our World Vitiligo Day celebrations, we'll take this week to re-share our journey. We'll re-meet all the amazing souls that gave so much of themselves to help us raise awareness for Vitiligo and in turn helped us build our campaign.  Today we're a success because of these individuals.


We've covered 12 stories since LOVEauthentic first began.
This year we asked sponsors to join us and sponsor a Vitligo Story in order for us to raise funds to host our 2nd World Vitiligo Day event.

A huge huge thank you to all who so graciously extended a willing hand.

As we build up to World Vitiligo Day on 25 June, we're embarking on a fund raising event for the month of April and May. We ask that you help us raise funds.
For this April,  one of our members of #teamloveauthentic Vincent Mekwa will be riding to raise awareness for LOVEauthentic's Vitiligo Campaign. He'll take on the enormous challenge in Oudtshroon, a massive 360km of mountain biking, Added to this distance, which is already hard to wrap our head around, is an elevation of 5500m. This means that he'll be climbing extremely steep and never ending mountains for majority of his time out there. He'll start this race at 1800 on Friday 21 April 2017. He'll have 36 hours to complete the race,
Vincent, we thank you for your support,
We thank you for riding for vitiligo awareness.
We're inspired by your strenght and determination.  
We wish you all the best and will be waiting for you at the end of the journey.  

    Support the ride , donate an R1 per km completed or an amount of your choice for this 361km ride. Send us your pledge, for it to be published. Thank for your support.
