NOW STARRING → YOU!
Teens with Albinism… Do you have something to say, share, inspire or commiserate? Send us your submission!
Simply write a few paragraphs about yourself – your thoughts, accomplishments, concerns, dreams…anything about you that you want to share! Send them to teenspotlight@albinism.org with one or more pics (selfies are great!), and we will review them for publication (identified by first name, last initial only).
Your stories will help strengthen the teenage NOAH community and inspire and comfort countless others – your peers, pre-teens and their parents, among many others.
We are currently seeking submissions from teens in our community to re-start our Teen Spotlight segment. In the meantime, we encourage you to check out previous submissions in our Teen Spotlight Archives in addition to the teens featured below!
Please note: Teen Spotlight submissions may be lightly edited for clarity.
