Alex Lightly, a 24-year-old woman from Essex, UK, was born with a rare genetic condition called piebaldism, which causes white hair. Lightly was bullied and called a "badger" by her classmates in high school and felt self-conscious about her lighter skin patches. She discovered her diagnosis in 2016 after watching a YouTube video about rare genetic conditions. Despite her struggles with her appearance, Lightly has learned to accept her condition and has used social media to encourage others with the same condition.
