As a blogger, vlogger and song-writer who also lives with disability and chronic illness and mental health issues, I’m passionate about turning my everyday experiences into opportunities for advocacy and awareness, to lift up the voices of others who might slip through the cracks.
Many years ago, I began writing a blog, largely to document my experiences with getting diagnosed and subsequently treated for Lyme disease. That writing project infused into me a passionate desire to explore the many themes that swirl around the chronic illness experience – themes of lost potential, of lost privacy, of lost pride.
In an attempt to reach a wider audience, I branched out into YouTube, Instagram and TikTok, always seeking out out more opportunities for advocacy. As I move forward, I hope to continue this life of advocacy and awareness.
