We talk to Natalie, who set up the Black MS Foundation to raise awareness and provide a space for black people to discuss their own MS experiences. We also dive into the background on who gets MS and how different ethnicities are affected by multiple sclerosis with Claire from our information team.Episode notes:View the Black MS Foundation website: blackmsfoundation.org/View the Black MS Instagram profile: instagram.com/blackmsfoundation/MS Trust page on how common is MS?: mstrust.org.uk/a-z/how-common-multiple-sclerosisMS Trust page on who gets MS and why?: mstrust.org.uk/news/views-and-comments/who-gets-ms-and-why
