Albinism is a rare genetic disorder that creates a stunning lack of pigmentation in the skin, eyes, and hair. It’s a unique look that captivates anyone who sees it. Today, we want to introduce you to two incredibly special siblings, Asel and Kamila. These sisters, born 12 years apart, have defied the odds and become icons of beauty:
Asel, the elder sister at 14 years old, surprised her mother, Aiman Sarkitova, when she was born albino. Aiman recalls the shock on the doctors’ faces as they witnessed this rare condition. Little did they know that, 12 years later, lightning would strike twice. Kamila, their second child, was also born with albinism.
The sight of these two striking sisters together is awe-inspiring. Realizing their unique beauty, they embraced their condition and decided to embark on a modelling career as a dynamic duo. Asel had already been in the modelling industry since the age of 10, but with her 2-year-old sister by her side, their popularity skyrocketed. Today, they have over 33,000 followers on Instagram and are highly sought after in the fashion world.
While their success is remarkable, it’s essential to acknowledge that living with albinism is not always easy. The condition is often accompanied by medical issues, such as sensitivity to sunlight. Asel shares her daily routine of sunscreen application, protective clothing, headgear, or even using an umbrella when venturing outside in the afternoon. However, evenings provide respite as the sun’s intensity diminishes.
In a world where feeling understood can be a challenge, these two sisters are incredibly fortunate to have each other. The rarity of albinism often leaves individuals feeling isolated, but Asel and Kamila have the comforting knowledge that they will always have a sibling who truly understands them.
Their success as models not only brings them joy but also shines a light on albinism. Through their photographs and story, people around the world can witness the unique beauty possessed by albino individuals. Asel eloquently states, “Many people do not know what albinos are.” It is our hope that by sharing this remarkable story and showcasing their stunning photos, we can all contribute to raising awareness about albinism and celebrating its exceptional beauty.
Let us take a moment to appreciate and honor the bravery, resilience, and talent of these extraordinary sisters. Please share this incredible journey with others, spreading the message of beauty in diversity.
