Persons with albinism have been socially excluded most especially from theirs culture in Africa, due to their skin colour. Most people think persons living with albinism are not fit to represent their culture saying \" black is what Africa represents\", making it dificult for a  person living with albinism to be amongst the wining contestants. Persons with albinism are going back to their roots. Being an exemplary leader who speaks by action, I took the lead to say; <a href=\"/hashtags/no\">#No</a> to cultural exclusion# <a href=\"/hashtags/albinism\">#Albinism</a> have the right to culture# # No to colour stigmatization#.
