8:32 am
finished 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. pink colo getting teeth every day, like to a point of i would hide in the to bush's and go home when the bell. but every time i went home then 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,
8:33 am
to economic empowerment, social protection, and raising awareness. putting positive on exposure for me was i wish my child would wish that's not child get treated, they are 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 that family is cursed. sadly, the stigma has become a catalyst for ritual killings, which had turn fuels 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 the one of cause to get my body parts they have to harm me. we don't have laws that protect people with albinism event reporting this cases.
8:34 am
sometimes it doesn't fit anywhere in their law. albinism is a recess of genetic condition inherited from both parents. it means there is less dock pigmentation or melanie in the skin, hair and eyes globally. what in 70000 people has albinism. in subsaharan 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 jane. many of us then leave in fear of persecution and maybe being taken to a foreign land for each or givings the incidence care 5th 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. they believe that our body parts of bustle without been using can
8:35 am
create wealth or fame. some believe it's to even talk about albinism. many people 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 specialize for the 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 then shelling like albinism is just part of the beauty of human. janeway, 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 a very inspiring young man. i'll be ex,
8:36 am

8:40 am
from people who have been touched by your work? yeah, my come is called globe shop. you know, it's hard to believe something. people come up to me saying that ad me supply them with my songs, that i motivated them to try and new things in their life, so that even always wanted to dish. and after a few months commercial, the 1st message is what started coming from the congo kong. and for me, those like, wow, missiles, i thought maybe of achieving something to shop can return the mattress. um 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 college. right. how was it's like for you as a person living with albany in growing up here as job? good, certain on socialist at certain though, a 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 has been, they've made me the person i am today. i am proud mentioned and it was really i
8:41 am
opened and grew up in my community. i'm generally at for 4 person, and i met many decisions for myself. or in chuck or phil. i'm feelin shut off when we started coughing. i was off in the lawn and even toward by other people to give up on me as i was always in my own world are. and i had to decide for myself which path to take and i will i give up will. will i persevere? and i chose to persevere, and that's really the best thing i've ever danced right on shock mish. that's an shouldn't write out smugglers as best philosophy encounter. how much influence do, does the communist culture have on you on your, on yourself and on your art? is right to show in my shoes, i've always been a culturally aware personality and wanted to know a lot about a congo because i never went to him to the congo and some things up into 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 aspects and culture i associates with the
8:42 am
campbell. i listen to where us on a lot we got 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, margaret, it's very important for me to hold to that couch. i'm with lion. oh, it's great that you mentioned a congolese musician. yeah. 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 lily, who now he is there reaction? let's take a look. i am with love from the melody is nice. it's a bit like i for a bit, but it's good boy,
8:43 am
for my case, certainly praiseworthy. we welcome his music wed, promotes our language. good luck to him. a bunch of 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 for me, the artist tries to affirm his 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 friend on people who oh, it was wonderful. i know the song but not the artist. i listen to this music,
8:44 am
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 it sang in the gala. that's the effort that has chucked me or not, and i like you to long i b x you, you are slowly growing a fun based in the congress. did you hear that your music is unique? russell has university. i have once reaction and i asked

8:46 am
i've not really thought about how i should go about balancing duce cultures. again, listen, i found common last night. so was like again, go with the flow. i'm always jessica mac on with the flow. you have to imagine it like this. my mixing of the languages happened when i was free styling offices when i was creating musical outdoors. i mason lynn gala german and frank. i consider doing something in german. it while it was over smoking or bush was that was religion wish, but i have to do something done really stance out. right. where people would ingest see oh, he's doing that 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 cultures. i am not limited myself that i always say if you limit yourself, you create boundaries. and why should you create boundaries if it's possible to be
