Multiple Sclerosis with Terri Louise Brown, Talks With MS
Manage episode 483422546 series 3465393
Terri Louise Brown has Relapsing Remitting Multiple Sclerosis (MS), experiencing frequent relapses and daily pain. In this conversation, Terri shares her journey from MS diagnosis at 27 to founding the charity Talks With MS. The charity provides community support for those living with multiple sclerosis.
Cultural attitudes in BAME communities can create barriers to seeking medical help for chronic conditions, which is why Terri is committed to being the voice for the voiceless and encouraging people to seek medical and emotional support.
We discuss how her personal experiences as a Black woman navigating disability have shaped her passionate advocacy for greater accessibility, representation, and understanding of non-visible disabilities.
