Link to article: People Of Color With Albinism Ask: Where Do I Belong?

An acquaintance of mine from back home was recently interviewed by NPR with her mother who has albinism. This article on living with albinism as a black woman is an interesting parallel to the reading we’ve been doing in class on Visible Identities.

“That deep, internal struggle felt by many with albinism often goes unnoticed by others. Because they often don’t look like the people within their racial group, the question is: Where do they fit?”
