For this week's episode of the podcast, Lucy speaks with Malone Mukwende who is the founder of the platform BlackandBrownSkin.

After his arrival at medical school, Malone became acutely aware of the lack of clinical teaching provided about conditions as they appear on patients with darker skin. This lead him to write the handbook 'Mind the Gap', a clinical handbook of signs and symptoms in Black and Brown skin.

Listen to what Malone had to say about his journey so far and how he feels about his work being picked up by the likes of Sky News and the Washington Post.
