Photo by Stephanie Sinclair @stephsinclairpix // Salmatu Fofanah shares a moment of quiet with a relative, who has the genetic condition of albinism. Out of her entire immediate family, only Salmatu and three of her cousins survived their brush with Ebola, which claimed nearly 4,000 lives in Sierra Leone and another 7,400 in neighboring Guinea and Liberia. Yet the 17-year-old, who I met at a grief counseling support group for Ebola survivors, persevered with a focus on finding joy and purpose. She told our team she loved to laugh and sing and go to the beach with her friends. She worked hard in school and hoped to one day become a journalist. As sometimes happens, only her story, and not her picture, was featured in the “Dangerous Lives of Girls” portion of National Geographic’s January 2017 gender issue. .
