International Albinism Awareness Day 2025
I am always filled with awe and the knowledge of the power of what we as people are capable of. Watching my social feeds fill with events and celebrations marking International Albinism Awareness Day fills me with pride for the dedication and work involved in having the United Nations Human Rights Commission declare IAAD as a day of global awareness.
Traveling as a form of healing
I have always loved traveling. Traveling is one of my love languages, be it the idea of planning, packing and ultimately arriving at an airport to board a flight to explore a new city, or discovering something new from a well-loved city.
“Black Girl, White Skin: A Life in Stories is the The Color Purple and Push of our time. Natalie Devora’s memoir shows the painful connection between misogynoir, colorism and sexual abuse in the Black community. But she sheds light on these issues from an angle we don’t discuss enough — as a person living with albinism. While Black Girl, White Skin is a powerful and moving account about trauma, Devora gives us hope that we can still make it after surviving our darkest moments.”
