Training young disability advocates in Lebanon
I am very happy to share with you my new Al Jazeera in-depth feature,
The Elastic Girl: Living with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which describes my life with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and highlights some of my disability advocacy work in the Middle East with Syrian refugees, children with cancer, and young people with mental illness. I hope you enjoy it — and thanks for any help in sharing the piece with others.
