A year ago, Angelina Jolie wrote a long article in Time, in which she said that her daughters Shiloh and Zahara underwent surgeries, and called on all women to be strong.
It would seem that in a year the wounds should have healed, but recently the paparazzi filmed 14-year-old Shiloh in a suburb of Los Angeles. The girl, who underwent hip surgery, was seen on crutches in the company of her sister Zahara and several friends in Burbank.

And now Angelina Jolie, in a new article for Time Magazine, sympathized with the problem of incomplete medical knowledge about people of color, since most books do not talk about ailments on their skin. Jolie struggled to find medical advice for her children of different backgrounds when they all fell ill with the same rash. She also said that her 16-year-old daughter Zakhara recently underwent surgery.
“I have children from different backgrounds, and I know when there was a rash that everybody got, it looked drastically different depending on their skin colour,” she added. “But whenever I looked at medical charts, the reference point was always white skin.”
In a new interview, Jolie also talked about Mind the Gap, a medical student's guide Malone Mukwend, which addresses these issues by combining photographs and information about different conditions on different skin tones.
