breaking stereotypes and standing up for identity. here's what's coming up in kenya, we meet a young woman. i think to as my surrounding alban is, if your mind congolese robert and mortal, i'll be f joseph in the studio for a child and we travel to book enough i saw where are a leave get victorian this will take for one or 2 or 3 half on the phone, could you we fat in the foaming neighborhood of no robi where we meet jane wife sarah. now jane was born with albany, him a rare genetic skin disease, and she was constantly ostracized. but instead of leaving a life in the shadows, jane channeled high energy into standing up for others. his house story, janeway sarah has many talent. she, the right to entrepreneurs and an activist, but her part was defined early. she was born into a community in rural kenya with albinism osborne, to

a teenage mother. and this tinney, my thou. and she got me from what she tells me from hardly bedroom expedient, is that when the best that is coming out the midwife. crampton asked her haughty slat. james mother left early on leaving jane's grandmother to raise her. but the cause of this abandonment in childhood remained growing up. jane never met anyone who looked like her and she was constantly shunned by her peers. in colo getting teeth every day, like to a point of i would hide in to bush's and go home when the bell drive. but every time i went home, the love that my grandmother give me was like my sounding board. but jane stood firm and channeled her energy inter forming the group. positive exposure, kenya found it in 2010. it aims to support people with albinism across africa,

to economic empowerment, social protection, and raising awareness. putting positive on exposure for me was i wish my child would wish that not child get treated there we are treated and no mother gets to feel what my mother felt when they did the wretched gen with albinism. people with albinism in kenya and other african countries are constantly at risk harmful met still persist in many communities. some believe a child born with albinism means their family is cursed. sadly, the stigma has become a catalyst for ritual killings, which had turn fields of black market for their body parts. which doc task in many african countries tell their claims. all you bring me body parts for pass on. i've been isn't. and for in on of course to get my body parts they have to harm me. we don't have laws that protect people with albinism event reporting this cases.

sometimes it doesn't fit anywhere in the law. albinism is a recess of genetic condition inherited from both parents. it means there is less doc pigmentation or melanie in the skin, hair and eyes globally. what in 70000 people has albinism in, in sub saharan africa, the frequency is as high as one in 5000. still few understand albinism. even those with the condition including columns on bio, who now works with j. many of us then leave in fear of persecution and may be being taken to a foreign land for equal givings. the incidence case if that we've had there isn't one happened last year in malawi where a child with albinism was hacked and leaned out basically on the lead. believe that our body parts of puzzle with albinism can

create wealth or fame. some believe it's to even talk about albinism. many people with a condition struggle to find jobs and those the do often find their options limited . but positive exposures advocacy has seen more culprits. open doors now specialized for support albinism here lead the top of them out there. and then there's this affair to on the say what to do. i need to walk around this 14 day varsity in inclusion and 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 a 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 cultures. but that's not the only thing that makes him stand out. ah, meets, i'll be ex, an up and coming, dropped off from cologne, lead congolese route. on what was his heavy effort dropped and he pulled sounds his shaking up the rock scene. vic, time i'll be ex, wrapped in german, english, french, and lin gala. he's that he's unique floor deal, freleigh, but he stands for much more and didn't, did the behind me? i'll be ex, is that you should be proud of yourself. who you are and where you come from. it stands for strength and hope. and i'm happy to be part of the community. i am proud to be a person with albinism. so it's important to me that i make sure i represent it

that way. so that people who somehow look different or have a disability don't need to pretend handicap. and us open the fee for the 23 year old wrapper was born with been, is him a rear hereditary to seize. this means that his body cannot produce the natural can pigment melanie, in his childhood, and teeny, is, i'll be ex, often experienced discrimination and racism from both his white and black peers. one reason why the robert does not want to give his real name. sure of the loaner. i was often alone with my thoughts. i also had people who told me not to give up, but i was usually too preoccupied with my own thoughts. but i want to change that for other people. i don't want them to be alone. so that they have some one. i don't want you to experience what i have lived through. i want to show you that there is another week. so i always hope, no matter what i'm doing,

that i can reach people, he's get a fish. mention of ation come, but all the x doesn't let himself be drugs down, but the negative experiences of his past. instead, he channels his experiences into something positive. he wraps he dances, he organizes parties, and he modeled along the way. he has become a role model for many over even if you sometimes think, oh, i can do it. yes, you can do it. don't look backwards. always look forward to. so that's what i see. for example, with lilly could not be lavar, jamal c, levant. dud means don't look backwards, always look for him on a former, born in germany raised in kimberly's community. all of this influences are reflected in his music. i'll be ex, is proud of his roots and this shows through in his songs in them, he doesn't just on his mother tongue, but also high calibre congolese artists like papa, whimper and algoma. it song carries its own message,

but they all have one thing in common. grocery to say asked you are only or so be stopped. be proud of yourself, import rulers, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise, because you are perfect. the will you are be extra success on the stage and encouragement from his friends have boasted his drive as an artist, food. he will relieve his fast album. and here he lives in the 77 percent studios at d w. our last, it is really awesome. having you here with us, thank you so much. now, thank you to, you know, we have people who are waiting to see what are you going to drop in or interview you. and of course, some people have been following you through your journey and your music is not just entertaining, right? in fact, your korea, beyond music, is full of empowerment. so what feedback have you gotten from people who have been

touched by your work? by kind of con, globe, you know, it's hard to believe people come up to me saying that, i mean, so bad them with my songs that i'm motivated them to try new things in the life that even always wanted to. and i'm a few months. the 1st message that's coming from lincoln will come and for me don't like wow, missiles i thought maybe achieve something this afternoon, but you have made it ended. now you are born in germany, which is predominantly a white society, but he grew up within the community followed right. how was it like for you as a person living with albinism, growing up here as job? good night assisted. they were good as well as bad times, but that's how it often goes. i got it, experience this to my life here because i'm, i'm happy with it. memory i've made has been made me the person i am today. i am proud. and it was really,

i open and growing up in my community. i'm generally as full person and i made many decisions for myself on top of feel. i'm feelin shut down from me, says coffin. i was off in a long and even told by other people to give up on me as i was always in my own world off. and i had to decide for myself which path to take will i give up, will will i persevere? sharon and i chose to persevere and thus really the best thing i've ever damped my thorn shock mish. that's when she'd read that smugglers as bestsellers symposium comforter. how much ensure wins do? does the communist culture have on you on your, on yourself and on your art is wrote to shoot in my washing. i've always been a culturally aware person and wanted to know a lot about a congo because i never went to him to the congo. and some things happen to me within the congolese community here that were in positive. and that's why it was important for me to hold on to the positive aspect and culture i associates with

a combo. i listened to where us on a lot we were from where i asked them was my role model. my mother reminded me again last week. how i used to dance to his music song when i was small. and yes, it's very important for me to hold to that college i'm. it's like, oh, it's great that you mention akwanga leaves musician because i you curious to get some feedback from the 77 percent as yeah. you wonder what they think about your music? i really want to know he wants to know really well. i have now. we have been on the streets of kinshasa and played down the song lily, who now he, is there reaction? let's take a look. i am with berman law from the melody is nice. it's a bit like after a bit,

but it's good boy, for my case, certainly praiseworthy. we welcome his music wed, promotes our language. good luck to him. eleanor montague, valvular with some music and silicon in his music. we find universalism, similar to this artistic makes 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 get up to. 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 proper culture having never lived personally in the congo, you know, just a friend of people who oh, it was wonderful. 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. 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 any rest the tilley t. i age if once reaction i select sancha worker,

i've not really thought about how i should go about balancing those cultures unless i for communist or was like again go with the flow. i'm always just mark on with the flow. you have to imagine a like this. my mixing of the languages happened when i was free style offices when i was creating music la deutsche. i mason lynn gala, german and frank. i consider doing something in german. malik, that little dirt smoking a 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 on 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
