I Have MS and ADHD, and I Am Black and Fabulous
September 13, 2022
In a September 13 posting on MUSE by Clio, Marcus Thomas Senior Equity and Inclusion Manager Joy Smith shares a deeply personal story of what could have been a tragedy turned into a triumph – a diagnosis of MS.
In the article, Smith talks about how she faced this reality and what it taught her about herself and others, including the agency she calls home.
"As a Black woman who has always had to push that much harder to pave the way for me and others following my lead, I was admittedly worried that my illness could impact my standing. I was so wrong. My experience has illustrated that showing up honestly and authentically is the only path forth."
