Today is International Albinism Awareness Day! So here's a quick thread in honor of my fictional character, Zelda, from The Monsters We Defy and some of what inspired her story. #AlbinismAwarenessDay https://t.co/8E9mrcD8oO

The United Nations created International Albinism Awareness Day to address the discrimination and persecution people with this disease have to deal with. In some parts of the world people with albinism are accused of witchcraft and hunted for their body parts 3/21

It's International Albinism Awareness Day! My albinism causes visual impairment & reduced pigment in hair, skin and eyes. There are different types. I likely have OCA2 or OCA1b. Reduced pigment in my eyes gives me photophobia & means my vision fluctuates w brightness #IAAD2022 https://t.co/VO7xf36aYA
