A woman with albinism who was bullied because she 'didn't have brown hair' - is now proud of her condition and will never dye her white hair as it's 'part of her identity'.

Kristina Venning Rose, 47, was born with albinism - meaning her body produces no pigment.

This gave her white hair, white skin and violet eyes - leaving her visually impaired - and she is the only person in her family to have the condition.
