Description
Myasthenia gravis, or MG, affects people of all ages and races and is most commonly diagnosed later in life. However, for Anaya, her MG symptoms began when she was just 12 years old. Anaya went from being an active young athlete to struggling with immobility and school attendance. As a young black girl, Anaya’s age and race demographics complicated her MG diagnosis journey. However, by learning to advocate for herself and acknowledging her physical limitations, Anaya has been able to reframe her life with MG. She is now an ambitious college graduate and champion for other young people learning to live with this rare condition.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
