Mila Anufrieva was a style icon, a powerful businesswoman who wasn't afraid to take off her rose-colored glasses and look at the real world. The strange Russian with dark glasses is well known in Dakar and throughout Senegal, many even call her the “albino angel”. Every day she saves children from prostitution and slavery, from self-mutilation by order of local shamans. In African countries, there is a belief that the blood of albinos has healing powers. Albinos are hunted, mutilated, and body parts are sold in local markets as medicine.
