| Tell us about albinism!
For me, the most important thing which people have to hold, is that it is not a
disease. We cannot suffer from a skin color! Certainly, we are subject to certain
oculo-cutaneous problems, as many thousand other people in the world. If the
prevalence of the albinism was of a person out of ten, people would not speak
about it. What is rare always arise some fascination. People unfortunately
tend to reject what is not familiar to them. The skin color has no importance,
nevertheless it is in the center of the conflicts since the world is world...
| Being more used to the shade rather than to the flashes, albino are
nevertheless for the honor in photos and more and more represented on the
catwalks. What do you think about it?
I believe that what pushes them, in spite of them, to stay aside is ostracism, the
fear to be rejected and the lack of self-confidence. Before, I kept a low profile
because of the way people looked at me. We are for the honor in photos, because
our rarity and our particularity fascinate. It is a good thing that we are present
more on the catwalks. Seeing more and more albino models in magazines,
people will pay less attention on our skin color and will focus on our work.
