My Twin Sister Has Albinism | BORN DIFFERENT

TWINS are often born identical, but in the case of a Florida brother and sister, the two couldn’t look more different. Nine-year-old She’riq, of Pembroke Pines, was born with Albinism, but her twin brother Te’riq was born without the condition. One in 18,000 to 20,000 people in the United States are born with Albinism, which causes pale skin, sensitivity to the sun, and eyesight issues. This wasn’t the first experience of Albinism for parents Sherria and Terry Elliott Sr., who had welcomed a daughter with the same condition 10 years before the twins. Now 20, older sister Sheterria has been a mentor and support for She’riq, having navigated the negativity that can come when living with a misunderstood condition.

They are tooo adorable. You can clearly see that they look just alike, except she’s just lighter. I think Albinos are so beautiful.

Everyone’s talking about how the family wears designer clothes, but I’m just mesmerized by their family portrait of them with Jesus lol

I’m glad that she has a older sister that is just like her so she doesn’t feel alone and also has someone to help her love the skin she’s in

My daughter also has this albinism and we are black. My other kids are so proud they have a different sister, they also scream of happiness when they see her:)

Someone must have prayed heavy for the older sister, i think her having a sibling with the same condition brought peace and confidence to herself. She is Gorgeous! And she is a good role model for her sister.
