I saw myself as a freak, I didn't know what the albinism was,' she wrote in Spanish a recent Facebook post. Why did I have to close my eyes in the sun and look away?
Why were people watching me all the time? She has made it her mission to pose for gorgeous photos to show people albinos are beautiful. She didn't no much about her condition growing up and often went out without sunscreen. I was completely physically neglected to such a degree that I cried to see myself in the mirror. As she grew older, she piled on makeup and dyed her hair other colors to mask her differences.
Her mother's attempts to get bullies to leave her alone backfired. Once when she was young, another girl asked Ruby why her skin was so white. Ruby's mom told the girl that it was because she was 'very sick' and it was contagious.
The girl ran away, and Ruby said it made her cry. As an adult, she finally educated herself about her condition, learning how to take better care of herself. But going online also introduced her to the fact that her classmates aren't the only people who have something negative to say about albinos. Ruby signed with a modeling agency but the fit was not right, so she branched out on her own.
Her focus is showing the beauty of albino women and flaunting her skin and differences. She launched an organization called Movimiento Albino Latino to support albinos at home and educate others. She said people have sent her messages saying she inspired them to embrace their natural beauty. Ruby decided to take on a career in modeling to show people that albinos are beautiful, not 'weird'. The VEP response was normal in 8 of the children.
Conclusions: The results indicate that albinism is common in Mexico, although not as common as in a similar Swedish population. A prevalence of albinism of approximately 0. The number of albinos was much higher in both study groups than to be expected from previous estimates. The difference between the Swedish and the Mexican figures may be explained by the general difference in pigmentation between Sweden and Mexico and thus probably by the subsequent lower number of commonly occurring albino foci in the Mexican heritage.
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.

Edith Garcia and her husband Raul were surprised but delighted when they found out they were expecting another baby back in They already had one gorgeous baby girl Mariah and were excited to welcome another little one into the world.
Neither she nor her husband Raul knew they were carrying the albinism gene. Albinism gene being recessive means that people can carry it without being affected themselves and therefore, could even never find out. She found great comfort in people online who were albinos themselves or had a family with the condition. She also admits finding some heart-breaking things being said towards people with albinism.
