Every time I have the opportunity to speak and share my story, I carry the hope that it reaches someone who needs it most. Whether it's through a podcast mic, a magazine feature, or a campaign spotlight, my goal is simple: to raise awareness, break the silence around chronic illness, and lighten the burden of someone else’s pain.
This page is a collection of those moments — where my voice has joined others in the ongoing conversation around healing, advocacy, and strength.
