Highlighting the beauty of Albinism #AlbinismAwarenessDay

June 13th marks Albinism Awareness Day. Albinism.org defines albinism as an “inherited genetic condition that reduces the amount of melanin pigment formed in the skin, hair and/or eyes.” It’s a condition that affects many people all over the world. Albinism is still profoundly misunderstood, socially and medically.

But in this day and age, we would hope that everyone would be accepting of people no matter what they look like. Here at GLAMOUR, we like to celebrate things known as “flaws.” Love your flaws because they are what makes you unique!

Surrender is the greatest form of freedom. When you allow divinity to take over & the universe answers you with a smile & an embrace because God is at your centre. You give total control to Him ….😍😍😍….the beauty in letting go 💛 Let Go & Let God – PJ Morton 💛 “As soon as I stop worrying / Worrying how the story ends When I let go and I let God / Let God have His way That’s when things start happening / When I stop looking at back then When I let go and I let God / Let God have His way…” 📷: @matthewrolls & @erem_malo #FoodForThought #GodsBabyGirl 💛 #LovePersonified 💛 #Khaleesi 💛 #Spirit 💛 #Gratitude #WorkHard #GodAtWork #Inshallah #Evolving #VanillablaqMagic #GlobalSoul #RefilweModiselle #Visionary #AfricasFirstSuccesfulModelWithAlbinism #TVHost #Model #MC #Speaker #VoiceOverArtist #Actress #Activist #Songbird #CNNAfricanGameChanger #OprahsPowerList2013 #TheMunroBoutiqueHotelAmbassador #GloryToGod
