Parenting with albinism
On the occasion of Mother’s Day, in this blog post, originally shared on Medium, Natalie traces her journey as a mother with albinism. This poignant essay, authored by both Natalie and her daughter, Jewel Devora, features reflections from Jewel who writes about her own experience of being daughter to a mother with albinism.
“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.”
