Congenital melanocytic nevus (CMN) is a skin condition characterised by a dark, noncancerous skin patch (nevus) that is composed of pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. It is present from birth (congenital) or is noticeable soon after birth. The nevus may be small in infants, but it will usually grow at the same rate the body grows.

People with congenital melanocytic nevus may have more than one nevus (plural: nevi). The other nevi are often smaller than the giant nevus.

In this week's podcast episode, Marni travels virtually to the UK, to speak with Cheryl Shaw- a Mum, Model, Diversity Advocate and living with CMN.

Cheryl was born with giant congenital melanocytic naevus, a rare skin condition that causes large moles to appear all over the body.

CMN affected most of her life growing up. But now, she is on her journey of embracing her skin condition and helping others to also embrace their difference.

Don't miss this inspiring episode as Cheryl shares her story of acceptance, self-love and empowerment.
