Mary is joined by Emee for this episode.
In part one of this interview, the two talk disability, chronic illness, going undiagnosed and the gaslighting they've both dealt with in medical settings.
Emee is a disabled fiction and non-fiction writer, vintage jewelry maker, and business owner. She has thirteen chronic illnesses and is neurodivergent. She aims to build a life that is a culmination of all she loves while refusing to sacrifice any part of her cultures, her writing, her disabled pride, or her affinity for vintage fashion. She navigates life with a peculiar sense of humor, a cane, and desserts.
