19 year old Ayanda Candice Sibanda is the current Miss Teen Albinism, Zimbabwe. She's faced her fair share of prejudice because of having a different skin colour. “I am black, that’s what I thought, but then I am always made to feel otherwise,” she said on having Albinism. She's currently using her reign to actively help dispel myths and superstitions that surround Albinism and using modelling and beauty pageantry as a way to bring more attention to these issues.
She is the founder of the Ayanda Candice Foundation which specifically raises money for sunscream and protective UV clothing for those with Albinism.
