Sophie: "I’m a young black woman with albinism. As a person with albinism I had to grow in a world without any representation. And still now, I don’t see people like me being represented in the media. It’s like we don’t exist, and I want to change that!"

"I was born with Albinism so I knew that as I grew up, the world would see me differently or just wouldn’t see me at all. People like me aren’t seen or acknowledged enough in today’s society. We are often forgotten, which might be one of the reasons that there aren’t many of us to see, nowadays, in the public eye.
If I had to count how many famous people with Albinism I know, I wouldn’t even pass 5. That is one of the reasons I started modeling - to spread awareness about Albinism and to show people that we don’t just exist, but also belong in this society."
