Aiesha Robinson - Cet épisode est produit en collaboration avec la Table ronde du Mois de l’Histoire des Noir.e.s. J’y reçois Aiesha Robinson, qui est mannequin, conférencière et fondatrice de l’organisme Born to Rise.

This is the podcast’s first episode in English. Aiesha talks about how vitiligo, a skin condition which causes the skin to lose pigmentation, has shaped her view on self-love and acceptance.
