The sunscreen myth

The truth about black skin and the sun.

There鈥檚 a myth that black people don鈥檛 need to wear sunscreen, but doctors say this is a dangerous misconception. De-Graft talks to Dr Kemi Fabusiwa to get the truth, and also hears from Isser Nener, who was diagnosed with skin cancer when she was in her 20s. Isser says she didn't realise the sun could harm her skin and she's now working with Cancer Research UK to warn others not to make the same mistake.

A young member of the Conservative Party gives us his take on the prime minister鈥檚 resignation and the contest to be the next leader of the country.

And social media star Grace Victory opens up about how she nearly died from Covid, why she deleted her old YouTube channel and being pregnant again.
