My Life Without Skin | Moin Younis | TEDxMoseley

Moin Younis shares his story of how he defied medical opinion throughout his life with a rear disease. He shares his everyday experience living without skin and how he deals with day to day life. Moin has defied medical opinion throughout his life, since the moment his parents were told he would not live beyond his first birthday. The life-limiting condition means he lacks the protein needed to bind the layers of his skin together, so it tears and blisters at the slightest touch.
Now 21, defying the odds and despite his many challenges, Moin is committed to making a difference to the lives of others. In his role as Ambassador at Acorns, he has a real say in ways the charity can improve its services He has won Pride of Birmingham and went on to then win Pride of Britain. In a moving speech that had the audience on its feet he said: “A lot of people take life for granted. While I am here, I want to get the message out to people to enjoy life. Please, please get the most out of your life and make the most of what you have.” His podcast reflects his attitude and is called “Live to inspire”. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

What an amazing young man. He really puts life in perspective and makes me check myself when I complain about things that aren't worth complaining about. He still rises above his situation and finds success.

Hello. I have had skin problems and in my family we have skin problems in general. I just want to say that I am proud of you and your soul. Thanks for talking about how it can be for us each day of having to do hours of skin care daily and the difficulties in general (including the time and money spent). You are awesome and I send love and strength to you for using it those days you need it more. Thank You !!!!!!

[@egi__lyricsadder5545]

I send love and strength to you.

[@Nuryakeen76]

You are a hero Moin. You are an inspiration and I have just started serious soul searching after watching this video. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@manibun727]

I'm assuming he is quite active on social media. So I'm hoping he sees my message. Moin, congratulations for being so strong for over two decades. You were strong when you were an infant, as a pre teen and as a teenager. And of course, you have grown up to be a very strong and courageous man. Everyone is blessed with something, and you are blessed with that strength. Talk to someone about your feelings and emotions. It will help to reduce depression symptoms.

[@cengiz2645]

He’s amazing. Truly an inspiration. I hope he can continue life with strength; I hope he finds his own peace and happiness. Thank you for coming forward and doing this talk 💘

[@asuzenapena185]

God, guide and protect this young soul. You are inspiring. I wish you the best, always 🤍

[@olaandreasegeland2064]

Thank you so much Moin for staying strong and telling your story. I have followed you on instagram for a while, and I have to say. You have been a huge inspiration for me, especially through the times when my life has hit what’s felt like rock bottom. Watching you staying strong and chasing your dreams of having a podcast has truly been a blessing. I thank you for helping me, even thou we’ve never met. Lots of love and appreciation from a 24 year old guy from Norway.

Did he say, “small things like having a lion”?

[@Kas1645]

Lion is a chocolate bar

[@Kas1645]

Actually he said lie-in, meaning waking up later than usual

[@kiungaskiung5836]

@@Kas1645 ahh alright… For a second I thought he made a low key joke that no one got because he even had a small pause in between… thank you very much! 😊 And very courageous speech!

[@mcollins1307]

He says ‘A lie in’….he’s a fellow Brummie and AVFC fan. God bless Moin 💜💙🦁

[@xiijam254]

For someone with such an illness, he's always eating processed and junk food on his instagram which is very strange.

[@Caligulita]

Obviously his diet has absolutely nothing to do with his condition and has little or no affect on his overall health. He's not going to be miraculously cures from eating a kale salad, let him enjoy everything he can.

[@xiijam254]

@@Caligulita processed and junk food has no effect on someone's body, i sure hope you are not working in the medical field

[@khanharoun]

one of the main points of his speech was about not judging people based off of what you see on their social media 🤡
