PHOTOS: Kenyan model living with Albinism is redefining beauty
Kenyan model living with Albinism is giving us body and beauty goals- she’s so freaking beautiful.
It was not the largest or most well-known beauty pageant in the world, but it was the first of its kind. Last November, 30 people came together to compete in the world’s first Mr. and Miss Alibinism Kenya pageant. Titled “Accept me, include me, I can,” the pageant was created by the Kenya Albinism Society to boost the self-confidence of people living with albinism in Africa, a place where the condition often comes with a stigma.
Albinism is a rare genetic condition that reduces the amount of melanin pigment in a person’s skin, hair and eyes. The condition affects every racial and ethnic group throughout the world. According to the World Health Organization, 1 in 20,000 people in Europe and North America have the condition vs. estimates of 1 in 5,000 to 1 in 15,000 in sub-Saharan Africa.
I was trawling the Internet and I came across photos of model, Lucianah Nyawira. A beauty to behold.

To underscore that sentiment, Isaac Mwaura, one of the event’s organizers and Kenya’s first albino legislator said, “People with albinism are people like any other, and for sure we are also beautiful.”Source-https://www.washingtonpost.com/
She oozes oomph, confidence and pizzazz and has received quite the acclaim for rising above her condition for a noble cause.
She was part of a smattering of hotties that that were contesting for Miss Albinism Kenya.
