Myelin & Melanin™ Podcast

Podcast hosted by Dawn (DX 2000) and Daana (DX 2004) -- two Black women sharing their musings on life, multiple sclerosis, and everything in between! Dawn and Daana met in 2016 in a Facebook group dedicated to the disease-modifying drug LEMTRADA. Though they live in two different states, in two different parts of the country, through the amazing power of technology, they virtually join each other to share their experiences about living life with MS. They are often joined by noted MS specialists, medical professionals as well as influencers in and members of the MS community.

Join us for a continuation of a conversation we started in July 2020 about Black racial justice. We are joined by former guests Dr. Linda Chavers, PhD, Damian Washington, and Carlos Kareem Windham. We chat about racism, the January 2021 insurrection at the Capitol by white supremacist terrorists, and more.
