I am a young woman with disability, and I am also an artist, advocate, student, Torontonian, storyteller, sock enthusiast, writer, maximalist, bookmaker, lifelong learner, quote collector, hug giver, mind wanderer, introvert, and lover of deep conversations. I am a forever fighter.
I advocate for young patients, specifically for young girls and women who share my story and my pain. Because the only thing a patient should have to deal with emotionally is having to come to terms with the fact that their body simply can’t successfully do the thing it needs to do to keep them alive, and not an accumulation of medical trauma.
