I’m joining because as a woman, mother, wife, human rights advocate, new age spirituality writer, and chronic disease patient (dermatomyositis, fibromyalgia, chronic migraines, and others) I believe in the value and equality of all humans. I believe we deserve respect and representation, even when we can’t physically participate in on-site marches. In America, every administration should be mindful of the needs of all citizens and our voices must be heard.

I am the author of four books about living your best, and most aware, life; two of which are children’s books, one parenting book, and one about my 20+ years of experience with autoimmune disease: “The Marvelous Transformation: Living Well with Autoimmune Disease.” I work closely with my mentor, bestselling author Neale Donald Walsch, to teach families how to live a spiritually fulfilling life. I live with my husband, daughter, nephew, and yorkie in Missouri. My work can be found at EmilyFilmore.com.
