Did you know that Bob Marley was just 36 years old when he died from an aggressive form of melanoma that primarily affects people of color. It’s a sad fact that Black people have the lowest survival rates for melanoma of any racial group in the U.S. The disease is more likely to be detected at a later stage, when it is much harder to treat.

On this episode I had an informative conversation with Charmaine Cooper AKA The Skin Theologian. She is the author of The No Compromise Black Skin Care Guide: The Truth About Caring For Darker Skin. We talked about colorism, how Black doesn’t crack, and common mistakes we as Black people make when caring for our skin.
