Rights Upfront

"Embracing Differences and Finding Community With Neurofibromatosis" is a podcast episode that brings to the forefront the inspiring stories of individuals living with neurofibromatosis (NF). Join me as, I speak with Kristen, a personal trainer / senior manager at an advertising agency, from New York City, whose life has been shaped by the condition since infancy. From the physical manifestations of NF to the social and emotional hurdles, Kristen has faced. Kristen shares the reality of chronic pain, the nuances of post-pandemic relationships, and the search for acceptance in a world that often overlooks disability. This episode is not just a sharing of personal narratives but a collective call to redefine the understanding of invisible disabilities.
