When you first see her you can tell right away she's different. Charise has Albinism. And when you get to know her you will discover she really is different and there's nothing wrong with that.
In 1974, when Charise was born, a childhood free of major health problems is not what life had in store for her. At the age of nine she was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis. By the time Charise became an adult, she'd had several surgeries, a temporary ostomy bag, and ultimately had her large intestines removed entirely; after which she developed Crohn's disease. Arthritis has left her in need of knee replacements and a lifetime of damage to her skin from the sun has lead to re-occurring skin cancers.
Charise, being blessed with a mature and supportive family had incredible support throughout her developmental years. They are what kept her grounded when the social pains far outweighed her physical ills. There was no shortage of bullies and teasers in Charise's life. Even as an adult she can't escape the verbal abuse of strangers with statements like "what are you?".
In "Charise: A Portrait of an African American with Albinism", Charise shares with us, her pains and her joys. She talks about her family life and what it is like having Albinism from medical, social and personal perspectives.

Transcript
In the 1960s Detroit was the home of Motown. Today there's a thriving hip hop scence. Even the white cross-over rapper Eminem comes from the area called 8-mile. Inner city Detroit is 82% African American. But language can define you just as much as the color of your skin. At the main bus station we meet John Baugh, a professor of linguistics from Stanford University in California. John joins us in Detroit to demonstrate an experiment he's been conducting for years about how American react to different accents. It's called linguistic profiling. First, he checks the rental housing section in the city paper. Then, he calls properties that are advertised for rent. He calls first using an African American accent.
Realtor: May I help you?
JB: Yes, my name is Michael Davis. I was calling to see if you might have any houses for rent that might be available?
RM: Then, he calls again speaking with a Latino accent.
JB: Hello. This is Juan Ramirez. I'm calling about the apartment you have advertised in the paper. Yes.
RM: Finally, he calls in a perfectly neutral American accent, which is, in fact, how he reall talks.
RM: What kind of results have you been getting today?
JB: I've actually been getting some mixed results today, but generally speaking the minority dialects do not fair as well and particularly in the affluent communities.
RM: Is that race or economic class?
JB: It's both. Race in and of itself will not be the factor that excludes one from a particular neighbourhood or a house for sale in an affluent community.
RM: Linguists like Baugh believe the racism behind such prejudice shows ignorance of black history and language. That history is celebrated in this African American museum. The stories of slavery and black english are inextricably linked. It's often assumed by blacks as well as whites that African Americans speak bad or lazy English. In fact, black English has roots as deep and a grammar as consistent as Scottish, Irish, or any other of the Englishes spoken around the world. It was the dreadful traffic in human lives that brought English to the coast of Africa. British and American slavers trading up river introduced the English language to the African middlemen from who they bought the slaves. 20 years ago when we filmed our TV series The Story of English, we went to an upriver trading post in Sierra Leone. 300 years ago blacks and whites communicated with a simplified English known as pidgin.
JB: The contemporary African American dialects all grew from the trade languages that evolved from slavery. The language mixing that took place between the African languages and English on the West Coast of Africa for trading purposes still function today.
RM: This Anglo-African mixture is still the lingua franca on this river. River trade carried it down to the coast and slave depots. This is Bunce Island. The ruins of an old slave fort still stand here. To prevent revolts, trades made sure the slaves penned up here spoke different languages. To talk to each other, the slaves created their own pidgin. So, even before they left Africa, they were speaking an English that was all their own.
JB: And so the slave factories and these trading languages that you've illustrated here are the very origins of contemporary African American English.
RM: 20 years ago, when we filmed off the coast of South Carolina, you could still hear the faint whispers of slave English. On the islands of Kiowah, Edisto, Daufuskie, and Wadamalaw, older people like Benjamin Bligen and his sister Janie Hunter still spoke Gullah and Geechy.
