Hi Nitika! We met many moons ago at an RG dinner and ran into each other a few times after that. I stumbled across your Instagram and saw your psoriasis photos and post. I was so so moved that you posted photos of yourself in a moment of such deep pain and vulnerability. I can’t remember if I told you, but I suffered from eczema for so many years as a kid and it was debilitating and awful. I’ve struggled with PCOS and acne for years (even a round of Accutane among the many other creams and lotions and drugs and haldi masks and all the other desi tips!) You are the first person I have seen to put a voice to chronic skin conditions that are so difficult and painful and I’m inspired by your courage and grace.
Thank you thank you thank you.
Love,
Aaliya

Hi Aaliya!! I totally remember meeting you, how amazing to hear from you. Thank you SO much for your kind and thoughtful comment. What you wrote, it’s honestly the whole reason why I am trying to push past so much fear and discomfort to bring light to so many people who are pain daily. To give us a voice and help release some of the stigma and shame that comes from our challenges with our bodies and the pain in our lives. Thank you for being so willing to let me know what has been going on with you. I just couldn’t appreciate it more. Lots of love to you beautiful! xx
