Episode 20: Accepting Aneilia

On this episode you will hear from our community's superstar, Anita, Diagnosed at age 17 with an A1C of near 30 and glucose levels over 1500 one would question how she was even alive. At the time she was more than alive but still alert and aware and even questioned why everyone was acting in panic. At the age of 17 where she was to be completing her senior year in high school, a boulder was tossed her way. That boulder being, Type One Diabetes. With this she was forced to miss most of her senior year of high school due to being in and out of the hospital. She ultimately completing most of her schooling at home. This was before virtual classrooms and highspeed internet service. During her diagnosis she also suffered from nerve damage in her legs and feet that prevented her from walking for months. Today Anita is a dance instructor. Yes, she overcame the nerve damage to now tap and bop in any direction she chooses! An accomplished actress she is, having portrayed many roles. Today, Anita has endless hope for our community of POC living with Type One Diabetes and she equally loves to celebrate us all!!
