After the dancer was diagnosed with guttate psoriasis in 2016, she’s chosen to speak up about it to reclaim body confidence and destigmatize the skin condition.
For dancer and choreographer Dasol Kim, movement is her artistic expression, as well as her stock and trade. Having fallen in love with dance at age six, Kim has spent her life training her body to execute every imaginable mode and range of physical expression. As a “doer of all things movement,” her body is her instrument.
“I had taken a photo of myself in a tank top, my psoriasis visible, and I decided to post it on Instagram,” Kim says. “It was the first time I publicly announced I have guttate psoriasis. And I think that was the first time I truly accepted it for myself.” Kim talks openly about her psoriasis in hopes that it helps others to talk about their bodies with confidence, as well. Doing so was a way for her to take accountability for her body on her terms, in all its fullness, she explains.
