Personal Stories

Verywell Health produces Health Divides, editorial projects that look at the health disparities in communities of color for specific conditions. For example: "Health Divide: Asthma in People of Color.” As part of each Health Divide, I had the opportunity to write several Personal Stories. Personal stories are first-person narratives of patient advocates, survivors of the disease we covered, or anyone with experience with that specific condition. I sourced these stories, interviewed the people, and ghostwrote their health journies.
