17-year-old model Xueli Abbing has albinism.
In her native China, many see it as a curse.
Xueli doesn’t know who her parents are.
They left her on the ground outside an orphanage.
The baby was named by the orphanage staff.
Xue Li means “Beautiful Snow.”
At 3, Xueli was adopted by a Dutch mother.
Her modeling career began at 11.
Xueli’s first gig was a Hong Kong fashion show.
It was based on the idea of “perfect imperfections.”
In 2019, Xueli was featured in Vogue Italia.
“I didn’t know what an important magazine it was.
It took me a while to realize why people got so excited about it!”
Now she uses her position to talk about albinism.
“It’s a genetic disorder, it’s not a curse.”
In 2022, Xueli became a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador.
She helps the fight against racism and discrimination.
