We round out MS Awareness Month with a conversation with Victoria Reese and Lauren Work — cofounders of We Are Ill.
We Are Ill is a nonprofit organization with a mission to redefine what sick looks like. We Are Ill will bring attention to and unite female-identifying women of color battling MS. We will do so through a supportive social media network, political and social advocacy, educational programming, and in-person and online support groups.
