MARIAN DE VOS
She is definitely hard to ignore and to say we are as unique as Marian’s radiant appearance is but an understatement. This young lady would widely be recognized by SA audiences from the ever popular television series, Survivor Champions. Stemming from an entrepreneurial background Ms de Vos has a passion for local business especially if one of its main intentions is to ignite change which is what motivated her to enter our ambassador search.
Being diagnosed with “a condition” has not only opened a door to a very successful career as a high end fashion model, but her Vitiligo provided her with a platform to advocate for the many challenges faced with regards to self acceptance and alternate beauty. With our two founding members being female, Caucasian and Black origin – the group took pride in the fact that it CHOSE this dynamic individual who physically resembled both Directors. “We weren’t forced into an arrangement by means of political dictation or corporate red tap. We advocate acceptance and change so when we realised there were people out there that physically defied racial boundaries, the alliance just made all the sense in the world”. Not only was Marian both black and white but she was born coloured and in some opinions looks indian! EXOTIC is what she is…. She knows no discrimination from one particular race group but understands it from EVERYONE. Our ambassador is unique in the sense that she understands how to market herself without arrogance… she knows that she will be a walking “cause” her entire life but this time she has a team behind her, advocating for her beauty and proud of the unique change she represents!
