Episode 87 - Skip Joy - You Don't Play About Us

On this episode, we sit down with Sa'Ra, a passionate advocate and inspiring individual who has lived with Type 1 Diabetes since the age of five, 25 years ago. Sa'Ra's journey is deeply personal, as her mother's older sister, Joy, also had Type 1 Diabetes and passed away from complications at the young age of 43. Five years after her diagnosis, her baby sister (3 years younger) was diagnosed. Tune in for an empowering conversation that highlights the importance of support, love, and choosing joy in the face of adversity. In 2019, Sa'Ra's advocacy continued when she spoke out publicly, which led to widespread media attention and connections to T1International. She was then invited to testify before the U.S. House Oversight and Reform Committee, where she passionately addressed the insulin pricing crisis.Join us as we explore her journey of resilience, from childhood challenges to becoming a mother, and her unwavering commitment to advocacy.Follow Sa'Ra via instagram @_SaRaJoycelyn @_SkipJoy
