In this unfiltered and deeply moving episode, the doctors sit down with trailblazer Refilwe Modiselle, South Africa’s first professional fashion model with albinism, to unpack her incredible journey of resilience and redefining beauty.

She opens up about the medical and physical struggles of growing up with albinism in an all-girls school, the cruel bullying, and why she was never chosen for the A-team in sports. Refilwe also gets candid about the heartbreak of losing her father and stepping up as the eldest daughter under immense pressure.

But that’s not all — she courageously addresses the shocking African myths about albinism, including the killing of people with albinism, and how her experiences inspired her children’s book, Zizi’s World — a powerful gift to the next generation.

And just when you thought it couldn’t get more real, Refilwe reacts to the latest fashion trends and drops her unapologetic takes on style today The Real Network]]> Health & Fitness Mon, 04 Aug 2025 17:00:00 +0200 0 0 Refilwe Modiselle: Living with Albinism, Albinism killings, Zizi's world 0 0 Dr Suhayl Essa full 1:04:31 Let’s Talk, Man https://iono.fm/e/1578337 https://iono.fm/e/1578337 Do men truly have safe spaces to talk about their issues in today’s society?
