In this episode, we discuss some of the barriers people of colour may face when diagnosed with a condition that in the past has been seen as a 'white or Caucasian condition'. We talk to Natalie, who set up the Black MS Foundation to raise awareness and provide a space for black people to discuss their own MS experiences. We also dive into the background on who gets MS and how different ethnicities are affected by multiple sclerosis with Claire from our information team.
