Diandra Forrest

Diandra Forrest is an African American fashion model and actress with albinism. She grew up in the Bronx, New York City, in a black community where she was bullied for her white skin, until she moved to a private school to avoid it. After graduation, Forrest became the first female model with albinism signed to a major modelling agency, and the first to be featured in a national campaign for a major brand. She has starred in several short films and appeared in multiple widely released music videos. Forrest uses her prominence to advocate for people with albinism around the world, many of whom face not only bullying but murder or dismemberment for their condition.
