Our Skin: A Personal Discovery Podcast

Come Find Your People: LIVE with HS Warrior Imani Futrell

September 10, 2026·37 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Coming to you live from iHeart HQ, Imani Futrell joins Holly to introduce us to a condition that we’ve never covered before on Our Skin: hidradenitis suppurativa. Imani has lived with HS since she was a kid, and she's turned what once felt like isolation into an entire community — HS Warriors who get together to support one another. And the community keeps growing! Imani talks with Holly about the parts of HS nobody prepares you for: the mental toll underneath the physical one, learning to give herself grace, and what she wants every newly diagnosed person to know. Plus, Holly traces HS all the way back to 1839 Paris and a surgeon who got the diagnosis right but the name wrong — and asks why it took medicine more than a century to catch up to reality. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
