I am joining the disability march because while my chronic illnesses may prevent me from attending events, they will NOT keep me from standing up against bigotry, misogyny, ableism, xenophobia, islamophobia, antisemitism, homophobia, and hatred. 

I am scientist by training with a passion for arts, crafts, gardening, music, learning, and human rights. I live with multiple disabling chronic illnesses including chronic fatigue syndrome, dysautonomia, and fibromyalgia.
