Cada vez que comparto mi verdad, invito a las personas a profundizar su comprensión de mí—no simplemente sobre mi diagnóstico, sino también sobre mi resiliencia, mi risa, mi sabiduría y mi salud.

Every time I speak my truth, I invite people into a deeper understanding of me—not just my diagnosis, but my resilience, my laughter, my wisdom, and my health.
