In the first episode of Low Vision Moments, host Jennie and guest Jennifer Renée exchange hilarious stories about getting “recognized” in public. More accurately, they discuss being mistaken for other persons with albinism. I don’t even know who that is! Why won’t you believe me?!

Jennifer Renée is the first albino beauty influencer. Find her on Instagram @ivoreebeauty or visit her website, ivoreebeauty.com. She hails from New York City.
