She has even had to start dying her hair 😔
A young woman has opened up about the abuse she has endured for being albino. Billie-Jo Randall said she had been spat at while at college and physically attacked in public.
People with albinism have a reduced amount of melanin or no melanin at all, which can affect their colouring and their eyesight. Those with the condition tend to have pink, red or violet eyes, but some have blue. “Due to my albinism, I have faced so much discrimination, such as being spat on in the face in a public environment during college. I have also had physical attacks in public due to my disability and how I look.”
“The best part of being albino, which I love the most, has to be my rare eye colour and the amazing compliments I get from strangers,” she said. “It makes me feel proud to be who I am as a person and to know I’m not the only albino in my family - I have an albino sister who was born in 1999, then I came along in 2001. None of our parents or the rest of the family is albino, which makes me dazzled.
“I wish people actually got educated on what albinism is as I constantly have to explain it to people. It gets annoying at times.
