I don't have albinism but I am a very light-skinned biracial/black woman. I've been bullied my whole life because of the way I look. It can be very difficult for light-skinned Black girls sometimes. We rarely have the chance to talk about our feelings because there is an assumption that being lighter makes life better. I hope Sheterria is happy now and isn't being bullied anymore. She is blessed to have a caring, supportive mother who helps her through the tough times. The bullying was so painful for me that I distanced myself from other Black people, because I didn't want to be hurt anymore. I am tired of being judged for my outward appearance.
