Biography

Diandra Forrest (born October 22, 1989) is an African American fashion model and actress with albinism. She grew up in the Bronx, New York City, in a Black community where she was bullied for her white skin, until she moved to a private school to avoid it. After graduation, Forrest became the first female model with albinism signed to a major modelling agency, and the first to be featured in a national campaign for a major brand.
