066: Yazmin Salazar: The Girl Who Can’t Smell; Living with Anosmia


Listen Later

Yazmin Salazar has Congenital Anosmia. That is, she’s missing one of the basic human senses. She was born with the inability to smell.  She says when she initially tells people of her condition, they tend to either discount her or dismiss her.  But, living with the inability to smell comes with daily stresses, anxieties and even dangers. She talks about how she used to keep it secret, but now she’s on a mission to use a little humor to spread awareness about this invisible disability and create a space for others like her to find support. Yazmin has created a blog and podcast and is also now working on a children’s book about the condition.
