breaking stereotypes and standing up for identity. here's what's coming up. in kenya, we meet a young woman. i think 2 and fig. my surrounding albin is, if you don't mind congolese rubber and mortal, i'll be f joseph in the studio for a task and we travel to booking of puzzle. where are i leave that victorian guests will take the full 2 or through 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 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 half 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 teenage my thou and she got me from what she tells me from hardly bedroom expedient is that when the base that had coming out the midwife clamped and haughty slat, james mother left early on leaving james 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 the 2 bush isn't go home when the bell, but every time i went home then love that my grandmother gave me was like my sounding board. but jane stood firm and channeled her energy into 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 positively exposure for me was i wish my child would wish that not child get treated the way i was treated and no mother gets to feel hort my my best felt when they did the rough children 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 dock tass in many african countries. tell their land all you bring me body part of our pass on the i've been isn't. and for in on of course to get my body part they have to harm me. we don't have loads 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 dog pigmentation or melanin in the skin, hair and eyes globally. what in 100000 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 collins 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 givings. the incidence cases that we've had there isn't one happened last year in malawi where a child with albinism was hacked and limbs blacked out basically. and they believe that our body parts of puzzle feed albinism can create

wealth or fame. some believe it's to boot 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 exposure advocacy has seen more culprits. open doors. more specialized for food albinism here lead the top of them out there. and then there's this fair to say what it needs to walk around is supporting diversity and inclusion and shelling like albinism is just part of the beauty of human varsity jane. what there are 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 is hiring 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. with his heavy effort dropped and he pulled sounds, his shaking up the rock seemed big time. i'll be ex, wraps in german, english, french and lin gala. he's that he's unique floor, dill fry la, but he stands for much more and did 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 handicapped. and us opened up the news for the 23 year old wrapper was done with benny's him. a rear hereditary disease, 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 off the line. 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 someone. 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 l b x doesn't let himself be drugs down, but the negative experiences of his path in state, the channels he's experiences into something positive. he wraps, he dances, he organizes potties and he models along the way. he's become a role model for many of them, even if you sometimes think, oh, i can do it. yes, you can do it. don't look backwards, always look forward. that's what i see. for example, with liquid or the lavonne jama. see lavonne doesn't mean i don't look backwards. always look for him on a former, born in germany raised in a can release community. all of this influences are reflected in his music. i'll be ex, is proud of his roots and these shows through in his songs in them he doesn't just on his mother tongue, but also high caliber can release artists like pop up when by and look. it song courage, its own message, but they all have one thing in common. glass if you will,

from people who have been touched by your work? yeah. my kindness con, globe shop, you know, it's hard to believe it's on some people come up to me saying that i have inspired them with my songs. wasn't that i motivated them to try new things in their lives that even always wanted to dish. and after a few months from now, the 1st message is what started coming from the congo. com. and for me, those like, wow, missiles, i thought maybe of achieving something to shop can return for. yeah. have made it ended. now you are born in germany. yeah. which is predominantly a white society, but he grew up within that kimberly's community cologne. right. how was it's like for you as a person living with albinism, growing up here as job good site nantosh listed. so they were good as well as bad times. but as how it often goes, i got an experience this went through my life here is i'm, i'm happy with each memory. i've made it, they've made me the person i am today. i am proud mentioned and it was really i opened and growing up in my community. i am generally at 44 person and i've met

many decisions for myself or in chuck or phil. i'm feelin shut off from research kaufman. i was often 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? and i chose to persevere, and that's really the best thing i've ever danced both on chalk mish, that's when she'd read that some of us best of all, symposium comforter. how much ensure wins do? does the congress culture have on you on your, on yourself and on your art is rocha shouldn't. in my russian, 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, him others. it's very important for me to hold as to that culture. it's latin. oh, it's great that you mentioned a conga 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 really wants to know really well. i have 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. 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 is 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 proper culture having never lived personally in the congo. you know, just a lot of people who oh, it was wonderful. 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 a lot, and i like it a lot. i actually you are slowly growing a fun based in the conger did you hear that your music is uni russell, has any rest the tilley t. i a if once reaction i ask that john chavo kachimba has 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 my wish to travel that this year and to express the place in real life it's. i mean it would be awesome to play there to confirm. do it because i am overwhelmed, come to school and i don't really know what to see her from her as it was done with engines or alicia which are far this is the 77 press say, yeah, we tell it like it is. and speaking of the d, r c, and you've talked about how impactful the kimberly's culture ease and has been for you. and you've also emphasized the importance of your upbringing in germany. is it is to balance the 2 cultures. and how do you do it as well? i was constantly sun schuchman miserably. so the de, honestly, i've not really thought about how i should go about balancing those cultures. again,

i was just, i felt communist or was like again go with the flow. i'm always just my gone with the flow. you have to imagine it like this. my mixing of the languages happened when i was free style officers when i was creating music la dirt. i mason lynn gala german and frank. i consider doing something in german, in berlin, that was older smoking a brochure that was religion wish, but i have to do something that really stands out like where people would ingest see, oh, he's doing that because he's an albino. i've been no insurance. 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 a asian. now there's someone 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 was she's gonna zog mr. massage, 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 asked you are, don't think you are out of lease 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 was important for you and on with, for something to for to you would. and i don't let any one say you can't do something else. the gun is as soon as you're ready to take something on, go for it,

because you are perfect the way you are. given a lusty for much of a sudden, then we'll go over debrief as perfect as i look for him. also bloom, tortured minister, clo, oh b, x is what a strong message offending please please, please keep that series. and thank you so much for being my guess. is duncan dear? thank you. you bet you under fed her. well, breaking stereotypes. that's what our car has in our next story wants to do. currently photo my dad, jamie and ida file, are the only women in the entire gambia to own and run a vehicle repair. walk show. let's get our hands dotsie. the center officer condo hosts, a very unique place. the only garage own and run by females in the gum. yeah. for too much um and i had a fall have joint forces to defies 2 types and gain

a foothold in the auto industry. however, if 1st how to convince their loved ones about your passion. oh, my biggest challenge was the in dealing with my mom to convince my mom that hey, it's ok is my passion. these when i believe in this is what i want to do. so forget about the stereotypes. look as a mom, i'm a woman is a car, a choice that i have to make us in many other countries, males dominated jo to motive industry in the come young women are supposed to stick to traditional duties. but for too much i decided to step out of the box. and after studying mechanical engine, urine, she has opened her own garage fema auto more than 5 provider is the organisers under set, is set to organize all the female that are in automotive industry to the come together. we find it very difficult to be accept in the industry and, and i said, let us also have his found sample that let us establish our own female garrett,

go and get married and settle down at home. this is not your walk and really it doesn't matter to us because i always tell them that they say no agenda in, in, in a carry a pot. despite a picture co mind sitting gum guin society. many people are starting to overcome prejudices and do not hesitate to entrust your cost to them. many of these are kind of job will be assigned to man in sort of woman. so does, does it does one of the reason not moves me to come here because i was impressed. i was impressed when i hear that, you know, it was in all gone by ladies. the young ladies contribute to change in societies mentality. so sooner rather than later, women and men are treated equally in the cumbia. in this morning we are talking of gender as did you faced sustainable development? good here. so in gender equality, ria for us, what the impact that we have for as a female we fight, i me see that we re,
