The Arab-American

Albino Arabs are kind of rare. Albino Arabs are a double-minority in the US and in this episode we speak to our special guest and a good friend of mine, Abdallah Hassan, an Egyptian Albino. Abdallah helps us understand some of the social difficulties some Arab Albinos face when moving out of their home country and even dives into what barriers he had to drive through in the Arab world.
