Grey isn't the color that comes to mind when one thinks of Spring 🌈, but come May, members of the brain tumor community proudly wear grey.
Celebrating First Day of School impromptu photo shoot with Ringo! Neither of us coordinated well. (Jan 03, 2022)
This Friday, May 13th marked 8 years since I underwent surgery. I've experienced a lot of changes, mostly good thankfully. I celebrated my 40th birthday in January and I found myself back in school to pursue a doctoral degree. On Friday, I successfully finished Term 1. 🤓
I'm also pretty excited to share I have been invited to participate as an audience speaker at the Tory Burch Foundation Embrace Ambition Summit this year. On Tuesday, June 14th I will be on stage to share my journey and advocate for disability awareness. I thought winning a ticket with my essay addressing how I empower women was exciting but to be selected from over 1,000 entries and asked to speak is awesome.
I'm grateful for these unexpected blessings in whatever form they are presented. I'm taking it one day at a time, let's see what tomorrow brings.
Happy Brain Tumor Awareness Month, indeed. 🌻
