I am a Berlin-based Dermatologist at Charité and founder of The Questionnaire, a platform where I blog about pressing skincare questions.

As a medical student in Europe, I quickly became aware of the underrepresentation of skin of color in dermatological research and training.

All skin types are not equal, as is made evident by a mainstream beauty industry with a history of underserving the BIPOC community.
