I Thought It Was Just a Boil

What started as a skin condition almost took everything.

Lakeya Foxx — writing as Ginger Foxx — is a Baltimore mother, grandmother, entrepreneur, and survivor. When Hidradenitis suppurativa led to sepsis, multiple surgeries, and a stay in a neglectful nursing home during a global pandemic, she faced the fight of her life. Separated from her children, she could only see them through a window. She held her smile so they wouldn't cry.

Then she checked herself out against doctor's orders. Because no protocol is stronger than a mother's love.

This is that story.

Through these pages, Lakeya brings awareness to Hidradenitis suppurativa and speaks for every woman who has been dismissed, every mother who kept going on empty, and every person who hit rock bottom and needed to know there was a way back up.

There is. She is proof.

"No matter what you go through... you can rebuild, rise, and elevate."
