“Albinism Can Occur In All Races,” Michelle Mosalakae
“Albinism Can Occur In All Races,” Michelle Mosalakae. Today is Albinism Awareness Day, and our country needs all the education it can get. Sadly people with albinism have been hounded, killed and dismembered for muti purposes. The genetic condition which can happen to anyone, reduces the amount of melanin pigment formed in the skin, hair and/or eyes. Luckily we have people like Michelle Mosalakae, who are more than happy to preach facts.
#Albinism is a genetic condition that occurs in all racial & ethnic groups.That’s why calling some1 an “albino” doesn’t make sense.What that word does is it groups people living with Albinism as their own race,which once again doesn’t make sense as Albinism can occur in all races

Education Is Key
There are in fact 11 different kinds of Albinism. I hope today is the day we all start educating ourselves about the many things we don’t know or understand. If you don’t understand something, ask. #AlbinismAwarenessDay ✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿

Mosalakae is proving that albinism isn’t a deterrent to her dreams, and she’s using it to her advantage in her breakout role in Isibaya and by becoming Revlon’s first ambassador with albinism.
