Sherria: We have
nine year old twins and they were born different. My daughter She’riq she has albinism
but my son Te’riq he doesn't. The very same thing that
they were ridiculed about, being highlighted. Born different. She’riq: Is it not too much fun
when you can go through that hole? Te’riq: People sometimes
don't believe we are twins. People always come up to us and be
like, Oh my god, you guys are so cute. I love your outfits and then
we, we say thank you and then we and then we be like we’re
twins and then they’ll be like no. And we would be like yes. She’riq: Like we’re totally
different he's more funnier than me. Te’riq: I'm just kind
of calm I don't know. I sometimes ignore
people all the time okay. Sherria: We have nine year old
twins, and they were born different. My daughter She’riq she has albinism
but my son, Te’riq he doesn't. And that was a shocker for
us once they were born. Albinism means you just have
no pigment in your hair, your skin, or your eyes. So you're very
sensitive to the sun, very rare and for having a child with
albinism, I believe is one out of 75. Sheterria: When the twins were
born, I was in elementary school. And basically like I was so
excited because I wanted one to come out looking like me.
I didn't care who it was, just somebody come
out looking like me. I was like, Oh my gosh,
she looks just like me. I started crying. That was the best moment ever, man.
Awesome. Sherria: My, my daughter Sheterria
she had bullying, people you know, call her names, I think she had
somebody spit at her before, it was really hard for her. Shetteria: I was like Mommy,
I don’t understand why these kids like, are treating me like this
because at home I got the love. But it's like when I went outside of home
it was a whole different environment. Sherria: Of course we were
worried about She’riq's, you know… Terry: Being bullied and the same
things that Sheterria went through. And what the world what she was
facing outside the doors of our house. We were worried about that. She’riq: My sister helped
with my albinism because she, comfort me and she helped me
because I used to be kind of shy. But now I just like
to make friends a lot. Sherria: We're getting ready
to go to Houston, Texas. The twins and Sheterria have
been chosen to be a part of the Skin I’m In 2019
exhibition and gallery by celebrity photographer
Ferrell Phelps. We haven't seen a photo
So we're really excited, to see what he's done with them. Sheterria: I'm super excited to
go to the 'Skin I’m In' exhibition. I feel like it's
going to be awesome. Amazing to be in a room with everybody
that shares something in common. I haven't got to see the pictures
yet so I can't wait to see them. I'm super stoked. When I look in the mirror,
I see some body who has come a long way. My eyebrows are blonde, my eyelashes
are blonde, everything is blonde. And I used to hate that
and now look in the mirror. I'm like, yes, you cute. She’riq: I'm excited. I'm so nervous and
excited to see how it is. Te’riq: So excited go. Yeehaw. Shetteria: Everybody's getting to see
their pictures for the first time. It's just going to be amazing. I'm really
happy to be here. What about you guys? Te’riq: I feel so
excited and happy. Ferrell: I always want to do things that
make a difference and impact the world. People are prejudiced against each
other simply based on skin melanin, something that God created
us to walk the earth in. Sherria: The very same thing
that they were ridiculed about, ostracized about them
being highlighted you and I can't be
a part of this show. Because we don't
have differences. Shetteria: I feel amazing
right now today was great. Oh my God met so
many cool people. We talked it felt
like we were a family. Seeing my pictures
me almost cry. Almost cry,
but they look super amazing. I'm just really happy I got to be a
part of this. And it's just so cool. Ferrell: When you
talk about acceptance, and we talk about the
Skin I'm in project, I want everybody to be accepted,
you know, for their uniqueness. And not necessarily the cookie cutter
type, but uniquely beautiful people. I want the modeling
industry to change. I want the commercial
industry to change. You learn more when you
can see the variations of people that exist in the world. Sherria: I'm very proud of
them, accepting who they are. That that's what I’m
most, most proud of. Te’riq: I felt,
I felt really happy and excited. She’riq: I never thought I'd be
a part of something like this. I’m just a,
I'm just a regular person. Te’riq: Yeah, we're just normal people.
