How does living with eczema affect what you wear, how you socialize, and the way you see yourself? Journalist and eczema advocate Cynthea Corfah joins host Dylan Marron to share her experience with chronic eczema. She discusses the complicated line between genuine care and unwanted advice, the lack of eczema representation in Black skin, and the everyday work of preparing to be seen. She also explains how finding other Black women with similar experiences inspired her to create Black Girls With Eczema – and what it means to keep living, connecting, and “healing out loud” when healing isn’t linear.
