Face Value with Brock Elbank Ep. 10 - Lucy Reeves

Back in March 2019 on the eve of the private view for our Caring Matters Now 'How Do You C Me Now?' exhibition at the OXO Wharf Gallery London, I received a DM from Lucy Reeves enquiring about tickets for the show. What began on the Friday morning at the opening to the general public was a journey of discovery, self-acceptance, inner peace, connection and growth for Lucy who on that morning for the first time in her 35 years met not just one but over twenty other human-beings with Congenital Melanocytic Nevus (CMN), an extremely rare type of birthmark 1/20,000 people worldwide.

Lucy's start in life was that of a book or movie script, an uphill struggle from day1 to today where Lucy post exhibition and portrait discusses how day by day she's learning to see herself in a much more positive light. As the Caring Matters Now exhibit makes its virtual way to the U.S. for Nevus Outreach to host the online show to continue the work started by Jodi Whitehouse and the phenomenal team of trustees who have presented this unknown condition on a global scale and celebrate the diversity in skin.

A must listen for parents and folks alike connected with CMN or any kind of birthmark.
