The Grit Behind the Glitter | Episode 1: My Mom – Where It All Started
In this first episode of The Grit Behind the Glitter, I sit down with my mom to talk about where my health journey began—long before I had the words for it.
We talk about:
– The early signs of my health struggles
– When she recalls my first reactions
– How we came to find out I had allergies
– How my first Doctor thought I wasn’t sick he told my Mom instead I was “Just depressed”. This is a common theme with others I know that have had the same experience as mine. It’s the go to.
Living with Specific Antibodies Deficiency has impacted more than just my physical health—it’s shaped my identity, my mental health, and ultimately, my photography.
This series is about the parts you don’t always see…
The people who carried me, the moments that broke me, and the ones that brought me back.
This story leads into my upcoming event:
Made of Grit & Glitter – an evening of storytelling, learning to navigate my health journey, and art born from resilience.
