For this summer series we will be kicking off Disability Pride Month by focusing on the story of Jackie Zimmerman. In 2006 she was diagnosed with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and in 2009 with UC (Ulcerative Colitis).
She is now a patient advocate who has an captivating story to tell about her journey. She did not do all the right things, nor was she dealt an easy hand when it came to chronic illness and that is what makes her story so compelling.
She delves vulnerably into all the triumphs, the failures, the shame, the empowerment, and everything in between. She shares so much about her public and private battles that you will find it impossible not to be drawn in and inspired.
In part one, we start from the beginning of it all. We delve into Jackie's early life, first symptoms, MS and IBD diagnosis, personal life, terrible boyfriends, and so much more.
