I cannot attend the march in DC or any of the sister marches near me, not because of my own disabilities, but because of my son’s. He is on the autism spectrum and has sensory processing issues, and does not do well in large, noisy crowds–so I can’t take him to a protest. Instead, I…

  I suffer from Multiple Sclerosis as well as two other neurological diseases – MS isn’t even the bad one. Every day I push myself as a model, opera singer and diversity advocate but sometimes the spirit is more willing than the flesh. I don’t even have the stamina to join my local march in…
