with the condition struggle to find jobs and those the do often find their options limited. but positive exposure advocacy has seen more culprits. open doors now specialized for support albinism here lead the top of that out there. and then there's this fair to say what it needs to walk around is supporting de varsity and inclusion. and then shelling like albinism is just part of the beauty of human. they've received jane white. there is working towards a more inclusive kenya where a lack of pigment doesn't mean a lack of respect. indeed, supporting diversity and including people with albinism is bo way to go from. one inspiring woman to very is pairing young man, i'll be ex, he grew up in cologne, germany among the colonies community. he's music combines influences from both

but some music on, on silicon is music. we find universalism. assume you know, this artistic mix off as a certain color to music that shows originality. we feel a bit of the congo he sings in garlic, a little more things you can look it up. for me, the artist tries to affirm, is identity quite simply. it's a means of being able to tie the links between the spaces between germany and the congo. he also questions which is, is proper culture having never lived personally in the congo. you know, just a lot of people who oh, it was when you listen. i know the song but not the artist. i listen to this music, them through all this. so i like it. i like the genre. i like the songs. it sets a good atmosphere and we like it, especially when we are with friends. but all i know is it's the congolese who

dominates music scenes everywhere. they dominate. everyone wants to know link gala to music, even when you're not born here. you still at this tendency to sing in like god, and that creates something important for our music. i talked with a boy, i think the music is good. it's great that he sang in the gala. that's the aspect that has chucked me or not, and i like it a lot. i actually you are slowly growing a fun based in the congress. did you hear that your music is uni russell, has in the rest the tilley t. i a if once reaction i ask that sancha worker she because her my 1st reaction. i'm really surprised. i am really happy because i've never been to the congo myself. my vote and it's, it's my wish to travel there this year and to express the place in real life. it

was freestyle officers when i was creating music la deutsche. i mason lynn gala, german and frank. i consider doing something in german. malik, that was on 3rd smoking or bush was that was religion wish, but i have to do something that really stands out like where people would ingest. see, oh, he's doing doug because he's an albino. something. no, i'm sure i do what i do because i am an artist now, and i can sure that i have more to offer cuz most people thought i was french. and so i was even more motivated to show my gem on roots is come for sure recruitment, i mean is come. but also that i can adapt to different consciousness. i am not limited myself. i always say if you limit yourself, you create boundaries. and why should you create boundaries if it's possible to be universal? then the smoking is when uni visits then. oh, a susan. now there's how one watching us. right. and they're sitting at home and they're thinking, ok,

i feel different. i probably look different as well. and what would be you want to them? because they're watching at home. what would be now you're wide to them. this is janice arg mr. lethargic. what i'd like to see, and i'm saying this because i really believe this. don, ever let anyone talk you down as they ask you, well, i don't think you are out of place or that you don't belong somewhere, right? no, you are your own very special person. you are the master of your own feet. let's go and get what's important for you, but don't wait for something to fall to. you don't let any one say you can't do something of the guns as soon as you're ready to take something on, go for it, because you are perfect. that way you are given lusty for much of a sudden and sober sylvie. debrief is perfect now. so look for it must be blown. corporal minister, wow. oh b x is what
