The model, actress, and albinism advocate visited Johannesburg Girls Preparatory School in Johannesburg to engage with young learners during what appeared to be a powerful outreach session focused on building self-esteem, combating bullying, and inspiring girls in their foundational school years.

"We have to protect the children.... The future is determined by how we become more intentional in what we plant, nurture & grow in our children. We will never have a progressive society if we don't pay attention to the so-called 'little things' from the foundational phase! We need our kids to be better human beings!"

As one of South Africa's most recognisable public figures living with albinism, Refilwe Modiselle has long used her visibility to champion disability inclusion and child welfare. The photos from the visit put a face to that mission, showing the tangible impact of visible representation for young children who rarely see themselves reflected in mainstream spaces.
