International Albinism Awareness Day is observed on June 13th every year. Its main aim is to support albino patients and discrimination against people with albinism, particularly in Africa.

In popular culture, albinism has been portrayed negatively resulting to the reinforcement of societal prejudice and discrimination against albinistic people. I personally have been discriminated against many times.

In real life, albinistic people are not only socially persecuted because of their traits but also physically abused because of folklore, legends and Myths.

Even if albinistic people are socially ridiculed as maladjusted and under socialized people, there are some of them who have gained fame because of showcasing their talents to the public. They are also actively involved in educating the public about the right way of looking at albinism. I'm proud to be one of them.
My advice to all albinos who's been subjects of discrimination. Live your normal life. It doesn't matter the color of your skin. Stand up for yourself, love yourself and trust me, others will. Don't live in the pity party.
I've had a lot of pitiable encounters in the past, but not anymore, because I stood up for myself and I knew what I want because God doesn't make mistakes.
Keep your head up, protect yourself and always try as much as possible to stay off the sun.

Say NO to discrimination against people with albinism.

Y'all Have a great weekend.

To everyone living with Albinism:

Success is not a function of the melanin content of the skin.

If success is a function of the melanin content of the skin, Africa will be the most developed continent in the world.

Live the life like a live match that everyone likes to see and not like a lifer condemned for life.
