TWINS are often born identical, but in the case of a Florida brother and sister, the two couldn’t look more different. Nine-year-old She’riq, of Pembroke Pines, was born with Albinism, but her twin brother Te’riq was born without the condition. One in 18,000 to 20,000 people in the United States are born with Albinism, which causes pale skin, sensitivity to the sun, and eyesight issues. This wasn’t the first experience of Albinism for parents Sherria and Terry Elliott Sr., who had welcomed a daughter with the same condition 10 years before the twins. Now 20, older sister Sheterria has been a mentor and support for She’riq, having navigated the negativity that can come when living with a misunderstood condition.

They are tooo adorable. You can clearly see that they look just alike, except she’s just lighter. I think Albinos are so beautiful.
I was just thinking that, they really do look alike
Nichelle D // They really do, the facial features and all.
So she’s white but parents and brother are black?
Ace Virteson Why do you have to repeat what we already know. The two are not white they are beyond white.
They are not white. They’re black people with albinsm
She may have Albinism. However, I can totally tell they're twins. They have the same features. Look at their noses and eyebrows...Love this soooooo much!
Oh yeah!
u are joking right?
For me they look sooo difirent
@@ivona4603 she’s just trying to be nice
The noses are an absolute yes man, that’s the number one giveaway lol
Her older sister is GORGEOUS
But can she say the 'N' word?
That’s disappointing that’s the first thing you think of to ask. Why does it matter? Quit being ignorant.
Right! She could literally model.
@@ambernicole2689 ..but it's a valid question!
INS Whisky i think so yeah
Whoooo the older sister is absolutely stunning she showed up and showed out like sis
just me no she aint
Chill tv Uhshdd I’m sorry WHAT
she really did that
just me yes she did!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
just me riigghhtt?! I was literally blown away at how gorgeous she is ❤️. I’m loving it
The oldest sister could honestly be a Model she’s stunning!
Michelle Ruiz
She’s ridiculously gorgeous 😻🥵
Seriously she is beautiful
I thought she was a model!!
@3165dwayne That is not a 'lol'
Dont rob her innocents let her enjoy her childhood
I am Korean with albinism.
I was adopted from Korea, grew up in the Midwest and now live in Mid Atlantic region. Such a sweet family.
really you have it
@@ashleymimbs5193 yes I have albinism for reals.
Very cool, I love your hair
@@scrappymom7881 thank you.
You look so pretty
The older sister is such a good role model for her younger siblings especially for her sister ☺️
762 likes but no replies? lemme fix that
I’m glad that she has a older sister that is just like her so she doesn’t feel alone and also has someone to help her love the skin she’s in
Same here. Made cry. Someone who would understand her in every sense.
But the brother...
Antasia Shaw you cool
You're a good person
@@yourmama1307 brother got the parents like helloooo
She'riq is gorgeous! I hope she never feels ashamed of how she looks. She's so pretty!
Why will she
Twin OMG🙆♂️🙆♂️🙆♂️🙆♂️💋
Dream Channel
Exactly. Stupid comment.
Ricky Rick 😂 it’s funny how u hating bc she looks better than u don’t be so jealous boiii 💁🏾♀️.
she’riq sounds like shrek
Okay but this whole family is just so gorgeous and beautiful like dang
And rich
These parents are doing a wonderful job with their kids. Their children are the happiest kids I've ever seen and this comes from the parents...
Kudos to these parents.
that's what struck me about them too! they just seem so happy and expressive. it must be a loving household
Someone must have prayed heavy for the older sister, i think her having a sibling with the same condition brought peace and confidence to herself. She is Gorgeous! And she is a good role model for her sister.
Yes when they both were looking in the mirror ... I loved it ... I'm so emotional these things make me cry 🙂🙄
It has nothing to do with praying but with their parents’ DNA.
@@fredreim2826 How do you know?
Maybe someone was praying
omg but can we like talk about the older sister she is literally gorgeous
She would be a good model
fr! She is really beautiful
Legit, drop dead gorgeous.
They are both beautiful
Brianna Torres ik they are i just simply commented on how the sister is literally stunning
When the mom said “ I believe it’s like a 1/75 chance?”
One second later: older sister with albinism walks out
Hahahaha
She meant that there's 1/75 that one of the twins will have the condition. It's a common condition for twins to but never for just one of them, usually both twins have it or not but not just one of the two...
it's good though, her older sister wanted a sibling with the same condition as her... it's so cute
Yeah it's one in 17000... lol
The fact that she already has a daughter with albinism means she has a 1/4 chance to have another kid with the same condition
My daughter also has this albinism and we are black. My other kids are so proud they have a different sister, they also scream of happiness when they see her:)
May I ask a question?
Is there any medical problems that come up due to albinism?
Like does sunlight harm them if they're exposed way too much? (More than the average person, that is)
@@samjones6046 yes, the vision is one of them
We should all learn to appreciate our own uniqueness.
@@samjones6046 Yes, anyone with albinism (white or black) is sensitive to light and has issues with the eyes. But the levels are very different. Some are fine using only glasses and others are blind.
There is also severe forms which come with additional disabilities, but this is rare and does not seem to affect this family.
That is so cute
The big sister is like a model she should be on vouge or something
Emily Rooney vogue*
@@Shelties2 she didn't even say none that revolve around likes
Cece .303 right
Yasss, she should be on VOGUE! :D
@@pastelclouds9367 I know but a lot of time they do
The little boy is so adorable we need to protect him at ALL costs
They're So Cute 💖💖.
@ANDREA E AMEGASHIE obviously
@ANDREA E AMEGASHIE Yeah.
We need to protect EVERYONE at all costs.
@@sammy_m06 Spare Kim Jong-Un
Is this genetic? It’s crazy they had 2 daughters with such a rare condition! It’s really quite amazing.
Probably yes. There are different types of albinism, but this seems to be Oculocutaneous albinism (but I'm not an expert, this is just what I think it is, it could be wrong). So they inherited the recessive alleles ("Gene-types") from their parents. So it is a hereditary condition. And the parents are both carriers of one defect allel that can't produce melanin and one that can.
The likeliness of having a kid with albinism refers to any parent, but when you already had a kid with albinism and factor that in, then the likeliness of having another with albinism is obviously higher because then you wouldn't use statistics but stochastics to analyze the likeliness (of course it would also be higher if you'd know your genotype, bc then you could also use stochastics).
Yes its genetic
Yeah, skin doesn't have any intrinsic colour, its melanin which generates in skin due to UV radiation high UV radiation means high melanin means dark complexion, it protects skin from skin cancer, the survival rate of black is high thats why majority of the people r black due to high uv radiation while survival rate of albino is high in europe thats why majority of people r white there...
Yes, its genetic. There are families in which all the children have albinism.
Yes it is genetic. Albinism is a gene mutation.
The older sister is so beautiful! And the young one with Albinism is headed the same way. In fact, the whole family have been blessed with good looks
All three of them have their parents' terrific smiles.
Cute smile you mean? Right?
i dont understand the 'terrific' part
@@kimaya.3563 wdym? it means pretty, they just used a different word ig
@i love you say it back ikrrrrr
terrific i think means like exciting like maybe and example “horray! this is terrific!” idk i’m stupid lol
Everyone’s talking about how the family wears designer clothes, but I’m just mesmerized by their family portrait of them with Jesus lol
Lol was thinking the same thing
I was looking for this comment 😅
Me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣 so inaccurate but at least they're trying
pexchy' ツ jesus has been proved to walk on this earth several times!! there have been unexplainable miracles and people have even died, and came back saying they saw heaven/hell. I know 100% god is real and he sent his son to die for us because he loves us, he created us and would do anything for us to be with him in the end. if you just try and learn to know him, i promise he will not let you down.
Bro, I was the 1.2k like
That yellow dress the older sister was wearing is gorgeous!
All of these kids are beautiful, however, the parents deserve a gold star for raising wonderful confident kids!!!
Бог зделал нас всех разными. И не только людей. Посмотрите на кошек. Они все разных цветов. Посмотрите на птиц. Кто нибудь скажет, что белый лебедь красивее чёрного лебедя? Или может Белая лошадь красивее чёрной лошади?
Нет, они одинаково красивы и всё, что создано Богом радует глаз разноцветьем. Так почему мы меняемся, когда дело косается людей?
По моему убеждению, людей нужно разделять только по двум признакам.
1. Первые - это те, кто боится Бога. Боится своровать, убить, обмануть. Боится, что Бог накажет его за это.
2. Вторые - это неверные. Люди, которые не боятся Бога. Не боятся обмануть кого-то, украсть, убить. И они плохие люди, какого бы цвета не была у них кожа.
Mum: Sherria
Dad: Terry
Daughter: Sheterria
Twins: She’riq and Te’riq - I think I see a theme going on. 😂😂😂
Exactly
I don't know why black people do this nonsense if adjoining names. I'm black and I don't like it.
@@fel6533 it's cultural going back to Africa
It’s NOT a cultural thing going back to Africa! It’s an African American thing that became prominent from the 70s and 80s. I’m not saying anythings w ring with it. Other countries with descendants of African slaves do not give their kids names like this...and in county in Africa name their kids based on tribal or ancestral/family connections. You will not find Africans putting commas, and or dashes in their children’s names❗️
@@sidyumboss5883 it's not just something from black people in america.
Black people from my country do this to. Did it way back and still doing it. And I love it.
I love how happy the older sister was when they were born...that is so so cool!! Genuine happiness is so cool to see...
I’m not gonna lie, the girls Are really really pretty
Stop lieing
You think I lied, well if you think that your wrong. I do think that they are beautiful. You don’t know my opinion, you don’t know my thoughts. I said what was honest.
PHEW :P
XxGachaSpringXX something wrong w you? they are pretty, are you just jealous love?!
@@delionjackson3412 The girls are really pretty even though they have albinism.
Bruh, idk WHY they'd think albinism is "ugly". Don't you think it's super cool? I personally think people with albinism to be super gorgeous/handsome. They're like ANGELS ꧁꧂
For as long as I can remember I’ve always thought albinism was beautiful. Both daughters are stunning and not just them. The pictures that we could see on display were absolutely breathtaking. It sucks that some of these children get made fun of for this!!. The parents of the bullies they need to do better. This should never be OK. I wish these girls so much success and happiness in their life.
This and vitiligo i think are such beautiful ways for God to make you walking art…it’s so sad these unique people are teased. I think it’s secretly jealously. To turn heads just by existing, that’s the only thing i can think.
Their noses are EXACTLY the same. So do their smiles. The only difference is the skin tone.
Yup
: 3 well duh
Obviously because they're still black, they just don't have the pigment
That older sister is so PRETTY OMG
That girl is gorgeous!
A shame people are so ridiculous
Right??? 😍♥️
Ikr! Short hair also suits her soo well! Wow🥰
Can I be her plz??
Very
The older sister is like- one of the most attractive people ive seen like ever in my opinion - like wOw she is so beautiful
Ikr she’s so beautiful
@DeadSkin Killa5000 you can leave if you’re gonna be negative
@DeadSkin Killa5000 no one ever said albinism is more important than other skin tones so stop making this about racism
@DeadSkin Killa5000 yeah true
@DeadSkin Killa5000 dicky its special because they are twins
I love how close the twins are. They aren’t too cool to wear matching clothes or hold hands!👩🏼🤝👨🏿
If anyone else is wondering about her eyes it’s called nystagmus and it goes hand in hand with albinism. My son has moderate albinism and also has nystagmus
Everybody has nystagmus, however her's is highly visible very common in albinism. Nystagmus also becomes visible with alcohol, some drugs and some head injuries
frederick durant nystagmus is a neurological problem!!!
I thought she was reading lines lol
Kayden Wentzell me to
Carsyn Gordon his isn’t as bad as hers, in fact as he got older he was able to control them, but if something goes close to his eyes they start going crazy. If he covers one eye the other eye starts bouncing around like a ball in a pin ball machine, it freaks people out.
Love the combination of parents names
Older sister is Shetteria
Twins are Sheriq and Teriq
And the parents are Sherria and Terry.
Wow, I didn’t catch that at all!
What their last name ?
Not going to lie, the family is so beautiful
Agreed
The oldet sister had me crying I felt her immediately her prayers definitely answered. Bless...
The older daughter is gorgeous
What a BEAUTIFUL family! They're gorgeous human beings, inside & out!
Jokes aside their older sister is stunning and beautiful
Awww the older sister finally got someone who can relate to her 😭😭😭
The twin siblings look like yin-yang. They cool.
TruuuuuuUUUUUUUEEEEEE
Yessss
Lori Mystic omg I was just gonna say that
Ying*
Dad : BEAUTIFUL
Mom : BEAUTIFUL
Sister : BEAUTIFUL
Brother : BEAUTIFUL
Older sis : YAAAAAASSS BEAUTIFUL
Older bro : HMMH HMM BEAUTIFUL
❤❤
I’m the 100th like!!
Ikr there do pretty
Aha aha, 😄
Wow.
Just wow.
They actually still look alike if you look
aside from being absolutely gorgeous, all three kids seem so sweet, genuine, humble + well mannered. props to their parents for raising them in such a loving environment despite the discrimination they might face outside of the home!
Parents must do better in educating their children about diversity in skin types. To avoid children bullying kids that look different from them
That link tho
It's in human nature to fear things that are different than us or new to us (I'm not justifying bullying based on looks but that's why it happens)
@@rook8182 I hear you.
narancia yep, but they weren’t mocked out of fear. They were mocked because they’re white “black” people. Some kids can be assholes to other ethnicities, treating others like outcasts just to be funny etc.
So true. My 16 year old loves having albinism because we taught him that he is beautiful, no matter what anyone says. He is very confident in himself
The older sister sounds like Billie Eilish or Billie Eilish sounds like her.
Albus Dumbledore that’s what I was thinking! :)
Hello Dumbledore:)
Yessssssss
Ew billy eyelash
Not rlly tho
Man these kids be wearing Louis Vuitton shirts and I can’t afford eggs lol
Ain't nobody can afford ish rn. Don't feel bad. Took me 12 weeks to finally get unemployment 🤦🏻♀️
XD
I saw u on ghetto voice overs
@@kUKic0re huh? Saw me? Lol
Ik I just be watchen dem and they got like Louis Vuitton Chantelle like what-
I thought I was happy with my little sister was born. But this hit her a whole lot different and I’m so happy the love and beauty both those girls possess.
Pacman arcade machine in living room, multiple cars, matching louis vuitton pajamas, they RICH rich
Those Pajama’s are bomb!
They might be RUclipsrs
Hella Rich!
So? If its such a big deal...Let it inspire you.
@@juliediamond6017 Shut up Julie #eattherich
It’s so sweet her older sister is a great role model for her, what a lovely family. Two beautiful girls..💗, and one beautiful family.
The only differences i see from that family to me is that they are smoking rich and i am not.
Same
Wait what. Woah
But they have a medical condition that you would not want to have, Esther.
U are dam right; they live good n that how my own family gonna be
@@daisychain3007 albinos are rlly cool tho. I would love to be one, lmao.
Its just so beautiful how she has the african features but pale skin, its just so attractive together
Around 20 years ago I saw a child with albinism begging at the streets of Mexico city under the direct sunlight, he already had some sun burns. My heart still aches for him. I just don't understand this world.
Damn, ma’am that must have been tough as a teen I believe they must be a lot of good people but circumstances makes them unable to take action.... probably other people experienced how you felt and someone who fit the criteria for helping that child got the job done.
Hopefully he is in a better place 🙏🏽
@@danypel-gh5fw Thank very much.
@@danypel-gh5fw You are very intelligent
There are plenty of problems in this world and plenty of illnesses and people can be very cruel. They don't think that anything that happened to other people could well have happened to them.
@@daisychain3007 Yes, it is so sad. I just don't understand ☹️
6:01 at that moment when she was walking i was like: YASS QUEEN YOU ARE STUNNING
Maybe Im weird but I've ALWAYS thought Albinism was so dope. If i was albino yall count tell me nothing. They just look so regal
I agreed they are like unicorns so pretty like snow. Definitely couldn't tell me nothing if I looked like them. Just gorgeous! God bless them
Agreed!
I have albinism
It’s so beautilful!! Their skin is so radiant
Except they can get blind
But they're looks are amazing tho
The photo of Sheterria with the moss and sticks is absolutely BREATHTAKING 💚 she is so ethereal
This whole family is absolutely beautiful! The love in that house is extremely admirable.
The older sister should actually consider modeling. She’s really beautiful
I love that blue in her hair
..
i don’t even know how these people can have haters. they are so beautiful!
I do
She is still beautiful ,they both are ❤️
Are we not going to talk about how much money they have
Thank u like NOBODY talkin bout how much money they got
No whywpuld we do that!?
That’s personal information
CoolMarioBrosG hmmm can I ask u , would you ask the same things if they where a white family?
Why do Americans worship the rich?
Is no one gonna talk about the fact that the twins looks so damn similar (apart from the skin color)
wonder why are they called twins...
@@Byuel lol
@@Byuel not all twins look alike and it’s common for male and female twins to not look alike because all male female twins are fraternal
@@theuzumakikay8647 Their point was that some twins would obviously look similar. Original commenter was amazed by them looking so similar when their twins.
@@yeshi2031 and my comment is stating that most of the time boy and girl twins don’t look just alike because every girl and boy set are fraternal twins.
I started getting teary eyed because I am so glad the big sister has her little sister to bond with but also so glad the little sister has her big sister to look up to and to help navigate life. She won't have to go through much of what big sis went through.
They are all cute but the older sister is gorgeous
Um
@@mehname7220 um what? We don't all have to agree
You think she's more gorgeous
@@mehname7220 I think the younger twins are cute and the older sister is gorgeous. It's not more of anything, they are just in different categories for me. I dont think the older sister is cute. She has a more mature look to her
Ok
Children talk how their parents talk, and it fills my heart with joy that these two kids are so sweet and caring
The twins look just alike though, just different complexions! Gorgeous 😍
I find the entire family stunningly beautiful.
The older sister sounds like Billie eillish
Oh ye kindove
she kinda does :)
Kind of
All she can do is put on a wig and baggy clothes and BOOM
WHAT I WAS THINKING EXACTLY OMG
But their older sister is like GORGEOUS SO DAMN PRETTY! 🥵
Linnea Thellufsen ikr! She should be a model
Yeah
Judgement for me is based on character not color. This is why I love this.
You don't judge people at all
You don't even know why they have that character in the first place
Just be kind to everyone
The kids are adorable! What bright, beautiful personalities the twins have! It's so easy to tell that they are well loved. I love this family, the joy they exude, the positivity, the warmth. Were that all families were like them. God keep them!
Waiting for the day we can all unit as one without judging by color✊✊🏻✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾✊🏿
Yes 👏👏

@@marianat7410 No it's not. People can't state the obvious?
They rll not
I'm thinking the same
1 subscriber/video challege ok but when someone uses “🤦♀️” they obv thinking negatively
I was smiling throughout the entire video. The Love expressed in their family is Strong.
I cant believe people or kids mistreated the oldest daughter when she was younger, they were obviously jealous because she is beautiful!!!😍 and Im sure the younger daughter is going to be the same way when she's older!
These children are wholesome as heck. Literally brightens my day to watch them talk.
the older sister is SO strikingly beautiful. like, I never ever comment on videos, but I am so, so in love with her look! 💜
Brittany Thomas thank you💌✨- Sheterria
@@heavenlyporcelain you're so welcome! I would love to know the shade of foundation you wear. we're the same color and I can't find ANYTHING.
Brittany Thomas i wear usually the lightest shade at the end, so like 110 in fenty or porcelain in lancôme and then if u feel it’s too light her w setting powder with a little tone to it like banana powder
@@heavenlyporcelain girl, I've tried lol. I must be a bit lighter, because all of those still look orange on me. I have to mix any foundation I use with white foundation lightener.
The only son in the family is the only one without albinism.
Rico and Eyepatch look like they have a older son too
@@redeagle5813 No, they don't have an older son. They only have one son.

Roberto Raffa ooh ok
4:19 she looks absolutely gorgeous in that yellow dress 😍
:3
this is actually pretty wholesome omg, the twins seems like such sweet and funny kids and their eldest sister is so cool and matured. there are 2 person born with albinism in the family, that's already so rare. i'm glad that she'riq has someone with the same condition as her, as her own sister, they will support each other.
These parents have done such an amazing job raising their children 😍
The older sister is so beautiful she looks like a snow Queen like omgoodness
Alana Miles y’all always uplifting light skinned women
they deserve to be don't you agree I mean black and white people are all beautiful and god made them all special
@I Am Individuality thank you so much 😁😊😅 some people just don't understand and they need to open up there eyes and realize that we were created in God's image and he made each of us beautiful
@I Am Individualitybtw love your profile pic ♥️🥰
This sibling love and bond is legit!! And I'm soul stoked for them🧡
The older sister is soo chill it must be so fun to hang wit her😭💯
Their baby picture is literally the cutest thing ever Im dying 😍😭
The older sister is beautiful! Does anyone else think her voice kind of sounds like Billie Eilish?
No, just me?
Omg her sounds just like billie
My older sister talks like that to I think it’s more of an accent/style of speech thing.
I was waiting for this comment
I was thinking that!
They all look gorgeous but the oldest girl is literally stunning
Lesly Ponce i have albinism and i still dont know why lol but i think it has something to do with the lack of pigment in the iris
Lesly Ponce my cousin is albino her eyes do the same thing
Ida thank you💌
Heavenly Porcelain omg thank you for your answer!! You are gorgeous!!💗
Don’t let anyone hurt you because you are beautiful kid loving and caring never let bullies bring you down because we believe in you ❤
I love how much the twins love each other
The sisters look like 2 little angles trying to live life. ❤️
1:43 cutest picture ever 💕💕. They are so beautiful
The big sister is beautiful and I’m glad she is embracing her differences. High hopes for the younger sister 🥰
