Someone once said that every person is a miracle. And while it’s true that we all come in different shapes and sizes, it’s a common belief that genetics isn’t Russian roulette.





Therefore, most parents expect their babies to look like them but well, some of those miracles are more surprising than others and leave their parents in shock only seconds after screaming their hello to this new world.





This was exactly the case of the Mexican-American couple, Edith and Raul Garcia. And while their baby girl is not the first albino beauty, her story is truly special!





‘She is a blond?’ is what I asked, in total confusion.

Neither my sister, my best friend, nor husband said a single word.

‘Uhhh….is anyone seeing this?!’ I asked again, and finally one of the nurses answered after seeing how baffled I must have been said, ‘Well, if she has blue eyes, then she might be albino.’ She explained to my husband to carefully shine the light on the side of her eyes to see if they were blue, and sure enough they were.

I think we were all in shock that morning and I must have stayed in shock for the remainder of the day. My husband and I talked to our sides of the family and asked if there were any known relatives that had Albinism. Turns out both my husband’s family and mine had relatives with albinism, though both were at least five generations back.





As you may already know, Albinism is a rare condition which results in the absence of pigment in hair, eyes, and skin. However, it's not only the appearance, though, the Albinos often suffer from vision problems and sometimes even blindness. These issues can lead to isolation, making the works of artists like Yulia even more important. "Their unique beauty hypnotizes me," - says Yulia and we couldn't agree more.

Humans with Albinism often face some difficulties being ridiculed and discriminated. In some African regions, albino women might even be associated with witchcraft. And though many famous artists and models suffer from this condition, the International Albinism Awareness Day, celebrated on June 13th, adds much-needed attention to this cause.
