Apple issues with my technology at every turn as of late - sorry for the delay!
########I attended the NYC March for Health on April 1, 2017 and to say it was incredibly inspiring was an understatement
The weather was harsh, the passions were high, and I was blown away by what I was witnessing.
Patients, Health care providers, unions, health non-profits, NY city and state agencies came together for our health care rights, and shared stories that inspired me to fight harder for affordable health care access for all.
I was one the people who was asked to share their health (in my case, t1 diabetes,) and ACA stories.
The clip above is me sharing my story, (shoutout to my friend Ron for taking the video,) it's short and straight from the heart and my busted pancreas!
I've also included a few photos from the stage.
