Carly Findlay is a writer, podcaster and activist. She’s written a memoir before hitting forty, but she’s got a lot to say. It’s a book for those who are disabled, and those who are not. It’s an attempt to get people to understand words like “micro aggression” and what it means to be subjected to them, day in and day out. But it’s also a manifesto on difference and self-love. Carly talks about growing up with Ichthyosis and explains how parents can help their children understand facial difference.
