Patricia Williams shared photos of her newborn son, Redd, with white hair and blue eyes, only to face bullying and the creation of cruel memes. Redd was diagnosed with Oculocutaneous Albinism Type One (OCA1), a condition affecting the skin, hair, and eyes. Patricia and her husband, Dale, became advocates for albinism awareness to combat misconceptions and bullying.

Redd’s unique appearance garnered attention, but it also led to bullying at school and the theft of his baby pictures for memes. Patricia and Dale decided to raise awareness about albinism to combat these challenges. They realized the lack of knowledge about albinism beyond limited representation in movies and decided to become voices for the cause.

Redd underwent eye surgery to correct his strabismus and transitioned to a public school. The surgery improved his condition, allowing him to blend in more seamlessly with his peers. Both Redd and his younger brother, Rockwell, thrived in their own ways.

Patricia shared a heartwarming video of Rockwell participating in a school event, receiving an outpouring of love and appreciation on social media. She took the opportunity to dispel misconceptions about albinism, clarifying that individuals with the condition do not have red eyes but rather light blue eyes due to a lack of pigment.

Today, both Redd and Rockwell are thriving, embracing life with their unique experiences. Patricia and Dale’s journey has been filled with challenges and triumphs, and they continue to spread awareness and celebrate the beauty of diversity.

This inspiring family’s story reminds us of the importance of acceptance and understanding. Share their journey to raise awareness and celebrate diversity.
