Uncertainty has never felt so certain. Small OPD leaders (teams of 3-5, struggling with funding, or on short-term grants)—how are you holding up? Exploring new ways, or is there really a “new way”? Let’s talk. Don’t shy away! #OPDLeadership #FundingChallenges

As persons with albinism continue to face unprecedented dehumanizing comments on social media, this conversation couldn't be more timely. See you at the Kenya Museums!

I've been asked my fair share of wild questions as a person with #albinism, but one stands out: "Alan, do you consider yourself a person with a disability?" Can you guess my answer? 🤔 Let’s talk about it at #AfricaMediaFestival2025!

Being a "small" digital creator is one thing—but being a non-typical creator is another. Standing out can work for you or against you. The journey is treacherous... Ask me or any non-typical creator—the stories are harrowing.

For a while, I’ve advocated for the social inclusion of persons with albinism. But truth be told, sometimes I just want to be a regular guy—without the stares and whispers everywhere I go. See you tomorrow for a deeper conversation. #AfricaMediaFestival

On April 2nd, 2025, the #GlobalDisabilitySummit kicked off in Berlin, hosted by IDA, the German government, and the Kingdom of Jordan. With 4000+ participants from across the world, the conversations on disability inclusion are in full swing! Here’s a glimpse into my day!

Fun fact: Watching all these incredible #GDS2025 posts from people I may not have met in person somehow makes them feel so familiar. Anyway, here’s my recap of what I was up to with the amazing team from @ADDInternational on Day 3 of the summit. Stay tuned—more updates!

How can OPD data shape policy? Last week we hosted Open Institute, UDPK & others to explore this. A key takeaway: KNBStats tools can help OPDs validate data for national use. Data is power. It’s how persons with disabilities won’t be left behind. #DataForInclusion

On June 13, we joined the world in marking #IAAD2025. Big thanks to ncpwds, UDPK & Baraza Media Lab. Grateful to CaterinaW, MESH HOLYKID🇰🇪🇰🇪, & all who showed up to amplify voices of persons with albinism. Highlights loading...

In our climate work, the community said: "We want sun-protective wear that's also fashionable." Our ED Alan Herbert responded with a design: Detachable scarf (UV protection) Removable sleeves Bold art to raise #Albinism awareness Next: more colors, smoother sleeve joints!

Two panels. One message. At #IAAD2025, persons with albinism flipped the script: Women tackled beauty, confidence & inclusion. Men unpacked masculinity, stigma & vulnerability. Moderated by journalists without albinism - real conversations, raw truths. #AlbinismMatters.

Thoughts from my morning show on Signs TV Kenya Prof. Fred Ogola- THE PRESIDENT OUT OF OFFICE Before we speak, act, or create we think. The right to think fuels freedom, innovation & growth. Silencing thought = silencing people. Protect free thought. Never suspend the right to think. #FreedomisInTheMind
