“The day John Chiti was born was a difficult one for his family in Zambia. "They were shocked, and they were confused because I was born different," he says. Chiti was born with albinism, a congenital condition of having no pigment in the skin or hair, which appear white. His family "didn't understand how come Black people can have a white child," Chiti says. "Maybe my mother had an affair with a white man. Or it is a curse. So there was a lot of ignorance about the condition." That ignorance shattered Chiti's family. His father blamed his mom and wanted nothing to do with his child. This was the first of many hurdles Chiti had to overcome before becoming the man he is today – successful, assured, and well-known.” - by Ari Daniel - NPR -
