Diandra Forrest

Being the first is certainly important, and that is why we always remember the first to do something. Diandra Forrest has albinism and is certainly not the first to have this condition. Albinism is a condition experienced by a lot of people worldwide that causes them to have light skin.

Did we mention that Forrest is African-American? So it was really a challenge for her because she stood out and got the attention she never wanted. However, she used her albinism to her advantage and became a model. The lawyers for the biggest modeling agency in the world were called on to sign her up, creating a world-first for an African-American woman with albinism to become a model. There is a long way to go for Forrest, for sure.
