Our ambassador, Tulsi explains why she is finding the current lockdown so difficult and her concerns for the future:

"There is a risk that many people with a visible difference will get comfortable with self-isolating. Not having to go out and face the world and the stares that come with looking different, is in many ways so much easier. But what will that mean for the future? How do we come out of isolation? If I was given a choice of staying home and not facing the world, its definitely an easier option."

"For years, I have had to force myself to face up to the anxiety and go out my front door. I can start to feel that anxiety coming back - just the thought of going out the other day made me think about who would see my scars, what would they think? I'm already back in the mindset of where I was before where I think 'What am I going to have to deal with today?' And yet I would say I'm a confident person, whats it like for those who aren't?"
