Face Value with Brock Elbank Ep. 3 - Jodi Whitehouse

In 2016 Jodi Whitehouse's CMN charity 'Caring Matters Now' contacted Brock after seeing one of his portraits of a subject with Congenital Melanocytic Nevi (CMN) an extremely rare birthmark that only 1/200,000 are born with. Their aim to produce a photographic exhibition featuring 30 subjects from around the world born with CMN to celebrate diversity and educate the general public of which very few knew of. Brock's brief was to document people and present them individually simply in a positive light to raise much needed body-positive awareness. Jodi who was born with the condition talks about growing up in Liverpool literally not knowing what the condition was, the plethora of medical procedures that robbed her of years of her school life, starting the charity and now 25 years on how their strive to find the cause with relentless funding has put CMN and their organisation on the global stage.
