About The author

Victoria Yap-Chung, author of Caroline's Itch: A Story About Eczema, "is a multiracial (Black, Chinese and Jamaican) model, actor and eczema mommy warrior and advocate! Her daughter was born with atopic dermatitis (eczema) in 2020. She spent hours researching and applying different methods to identify the root cause of eczema, as her child suffered sleepless nights scratching and making her skin bleed. During these trying times, she worried that her child would experience considerable discrimination, social isolation and poor self-esteem as she entered school. Victoria decided to do something about it, creating "Caroline's Itch." She hopes this book raises awareness of the prevalence and normalcy of eczema and educates readers, both adults and children alike, to bridge the gap and help people with eczema feel less alienated and more empowered. Victoria often quotes her mother's powerful words of encouragement “Only the fallen will know the glory of rising up.”
