When Patricia Williams gave birth to her son Redd in 2012, she was surprised by his white hair and later, his unusual eye movements. A quick online search revealed he had albinism, a rare genetic condition. Doctors confirmed it as Oculocutaneous Albinism Type 1, affecting just 1 in 17,000 people.

Redd’s diagnosis came as a shock, but the family embraced it. When Patricia’s second son, Rockwell, was born with the same condition in 2018, their family became even more aware of the challenges. Sadly, Rockwell’s baby photos were turned into memes, and Redd faced bullying at school.

Instead of hiding, Patricia began raising awareness about albinism. She used social media to educate others and advocate for acceptance. As more people followed her story, she helped challenge the harmful stereotypes surrounding the condition.

With surgery, Redd’s vision improved, and he now attends public school. Both brothers live happy, active lives. Patricia continues sharing their journey to promote understanding and celebrate the beauty of being different.
