breaking stereotypes and standing up for identity. here's what's coming up. in kenya, we meet a young woman. i think the and fig. my surrounding albin is if germany, congolese robert and model, i'll be f joseph in the studio for a time. and we travel to booking of fossil wet for a live that victorian guess will take for paula to or through with we fat in the foaming neighborhood of no robi where we meet jane. why sarah? now jane was born with albinism, 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. have house story. janeway sarah has many talent. she the right to entrepreneur and an activist, but her part was defined early and 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 cramped and 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. pink colo getting teeth every day. like to a point of, i would hide in to bush's and go home when the bell, 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, founded 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's not how i get treated the way our treated and no mother gets to feel hort my my best 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 clay and 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 recessive genetic condition inherited from both parents. it means there is less doc pigmentation or melanie in the skin, hair and eyes globally. what in 17000 people has albinism in subsaharan africa the frequency isn't high as one in 5000. still few understand albinism. even those with the condition including columns on bio who now works with jane. many of us then leave in fear of persecution and may be being taken to a foreign land for equal killings. they incident case if that we've had there isn't one happened last year in malawi, where a child without beneath him was hacked and lean basically on the lead. believe that our body parts of puzzle with albinism can

create wealth or family. 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 fair to say what to do. i need to walk around these supporting diversity 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, supporting diversity and including people with albinism is bo way to go from one inspiring woman to very inspiring 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, meat, i'll be ex. and up and coming rather from cologne, leads congolese in groups with his heavy upper trump and he pulled sounds his shaking up the rough, thin, big time. i'll be ex, wrapped in german, english, french, endless gala. he stopped his unique flow deal for allah. but his sons, for much more in the den, um ish, did 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 and decay, pardon would only be under all sin. they'll see sisters for stumble from the 23 year old rappa was born with albinism, a rear hereditary disease. this means that his body cannot produce the natural kin 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 rubber does not want to give his real name. sure, of the loaner is all 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. oh, but i want to change that for other people. i don't want them to be alone so that they have some one syllabus. i don't want you to experience what i have lived through. i want to assure you that there's another week or so i always hope, no matter what i'm doing that i can reach people is curtis ish mentioned ovation.

full person and i made many decisions for myself on top of feel o fillin shut from. he says to kaufman. i was off in the long and even told by other people to give up on me as i was always in my own world are and i have to decide for myself which path to take and i will i give up. when will will i persevere? charge and i chose to persevere, and that's really the best thing i've ever danced right on shock mish. that's when she'd read that smugglers as bestsellers symposium comforter. how much ensure wins do? does the congress culture have on you on your, on yourself and on your art is wrote to show in my shushing, 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 campbell. i listen to where us on a lot we got from where awesome 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 as to that culture. it's latin. oh, it's great that you mentioned a congolese 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 i ha, now we have been on the streets of kinshasa and played down the song. lilly who now he, is there reaction. let's take a look. i am with berman law firm. the melody is nice. it's a bit like after a bit,

but it's good. with my case, certainly praiseworthy. we welcome his music wed, promotes our language. good luck to him. eleanor montague, valvular some music and silicon in his music. we find universalism, similar to 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 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 his proper culture, having never lived personally in the congo, you know, just a friend more on people who oh, it was going to listen. i know the song but not the artist. i listen to this music

empties all this stuff. 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 vest the tilley t, i age?
