The family faced challenges, including online bullying and social stigma. Despite attempts to address the situation, Patricia and Dale ultimately chose to focus on advocacy, raising awareness about albinism to combat ignorance and discrimination.
Following Redd’s viral fame and subsequent inquiries about his condition, Patricia recognized the opportunity to educate others about albinism, dispelling misconceptions perpetuated by media portrayals.
Redd underwent eye surgery to correct his strabismus, a decision that significantly improved his condition. Transitioning to a public school and embracing protective measures against sun exposure allowed both Redd and Rockwell to thrive.
In April 2023, Patricia shared a heartwarming video of Rockwell at his school’s “Western Day,” receiving an outpouring of positive feedback on social media.
Patricia took the opportunity to clarify common misconceptions about albinism, emphasizing the true appearance of individuals with the condition.
The family’s journey serves as an inspiration, highlighting resilience and advocacy in the face of adversity.
