She is an inspiration to many with a pure touch of an angel in everything she does, Refilwe Modiselle is a South African model and entertainer born in Rockville, Soweto, and the country’s first professional fashion model with albinism. She started her modelling career at the age of 13 when she was approached by Y! magazine.

 

 

 

 

Refilwe has always remained a strong advocate for those face who prejudices due to albinism, at one point in her own words she said, “Many kids get rejected or are ostracised at birth because of a mere condition, not knowing how much of a blessing that, that child could be. Moral of the story is a child is a child, a human being with a soul – no matter how they come! Learning to love your child unconditionally is the greatest gift you could ever give to a soul that chose you as a parent before being conceived.”

Refilwe recently conveyed the same sentiments after she shared a heartbreaking post of a toddler albino child from Zambia whose hand was chopped off because of her condition, what pains the most in the story is that the perpetrators who committed these evil deeds were left Scott free due to lack of concrete evidence.
