Having a neurologist that's a woman of color, for me, is important. [MUSIC PLAYING]
The relationship that an MS patient has with their neuro is such an intimate relationship.
Having someone that's able to relate to me is important. For other people of color struggling
with multiple sclerosis, make sure that the tribe that you have around you, the village that you have around you, that they are there
to support you 120%. I learned the best way to advocate for myself is to speak up if something does not make sense.
Slow the doctors down as they are explaining things to you. You really have to find a neuro that
is going to do a complete workup to get you the answers that you need. [AUDIO LOGO]
