After giving birth to her daughter with Down Syndrome, Michelle Sie Whitten noticed a gap in medical research and quality healthcare for people with DS. And from that moment on, she sought to fill that gap by co-founding the Global Down Syndrome Foundation -- the leading organization dedicated to research, medical care, education, and advocacy for people rockin’ an extra chromosome! We’re so grateful to have her on the podcast for a conversation about the beginning of Global, the “Be Beautiful Be Yourself” fashion show, DS in the media, and so much more! Be sure to check out all things Global Down Syndrome by visiting globaldownsyndrome.org or emailing info@globaldownsyndrome.org with your medical/research questions.
