After eight years of waiting, Judith Nwokocha, a 38-year-old photographer from Calgary, welcomed the long-awaited arrival of her twins. Both she and her husband, originally from Nigeria, were overjoyed to learn they were expecting two babies through IVF (In Vitro Fertilization).
During her pregnancy, doctors expressed concerns about one of the babies possibly having Down syndrome. After 37 weeks, a cesarean section was performed, and twins Kamsi and Kachi were born.
Kamsi arrived healthy, weighing 2.7 kilograms. Little Kachi, weighing only 1.3 kilograms, surprised Judith by being born with albinism, a condition that affects melanin production, altering skin, hair, and eye color.
"At first, I thought I had someone else’s baby," Judith recalls, but the nurse assured her of her daughter's beauty. Though worried about Kachi’s health and societal acceptance, especially her vision challenges linked to albinism, Judith soon embraced her daughter’s unique traits — golden hair, brown eyes, and rosy lips.
Kamsi and Kachi share a close sibling bond, unaware of their differences. Judith’s mission is to boost Kachi’s confidence and celebrate her beauty despite challenges. "Albinism may bring difficulties, but it’s my job to make Kachi stronger and show off her beauty in our photos," Judith concludes.
