Hello to all my fellow #LongCovid and #mecfs advocacy orgs and advocates here. Brief intro. I'm a black long covid advocate from the first wave and mom of a genius long Covid kid. Still recovering. POTS, MCAS, EDS, and who knows what else. I'm always fighting the good fight in disability and equity often with just my keyboard. I'm knee-deep in policy, legislation, research and writing. Feel free to follow me. #longcovid19 #longcovidKid #longhauler

@Aaidanbird Fortunately and unfortunately it seems as if we have a lot more than long covid in common. Nice to virtually meet you.

@CynthiaAdinig Glad to meet you too!

Any projects you're currently working on?

I've been working on a petition to get all medical clinics and hospitals in my city to reinstate mask mandates. It's baffling and harmful to make it optional as if airborne diseases aren't real... I view masks similar to handwashing. Both reduce viral and bacteria load in air and on hands significantly, and are needed for safer and cleaner spaces for patients and medical employees. Hoping to launch it December 1st.

@Aaidanbird I'm in the process of launching a company that will systematically meet with hospital networks with the purpose of streamlining care for illnesses commonly developed from long covid illnesses. Such as dysautonomia, MCAS, and MCS. Alongside tackling equity with medical staff and researchers. I'm also working on a variety of diagnostic tests.
