Just think about being left by your parents because of the way you look. This hard truth was the beginning of Xueli Abbing’s life. Xueli was born in China with albinism. Her real parents did not accept her, so she had to find her way in a world full of prejudice and misinformation.
Things go badly for Xueli, though. She got the help and support she needed to do well when she was adopted by a loving family in the Netherlands. She did well, too. Xueli started modelling when she was only 11 years old. She was eager to fight the negative ideas and stereotypes about albinism.
When she was in Vogue Italia, it was her big break. It made her famous all over the world. It’s not just Xueli’s success that she walks the catwalk; she also uses her fame to fight for acceptance and respect. She is bravely showing the world that beauty comes in many forms and that everyone should be praised and watched.
