Summer’s here, sun’s out, skin’s out! But with longer, sunnier days comes a greater risk of skin cancer...and yes, that includes people with darker skin tones. Despite the myth that melanin offers full protection, skin cancer can and does affect all shades of skin. Unfortunately, early signs are often missed in people of color, leading to delayed diagnoses and worse outcomes.

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Amarachi Eseonu, a dermatologist specializing in skin cancer, to break down the facts. We’ll talk about prevention, early detection, and treatment across all skin tones, because everyone deserves to be informed and protected.
