Built from the gap I fell into at age 12
I grew up in rural Mississippi. When I was 12 years old I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. My parents both worked hard — but the cost of proper care was simply out of reach.
We could not afford an endocrinologist. An internal medicine doctor did their best. There were no diabetes educators, no coaches, no real guidance for a scared child and two terrified parents.
I spent the next 25 years figuring it out — what doctors did not have time to teach, what pamphlets never explained, and what families desperately need but so rarely receive.

Health Equity at My Core
Too many families fall through the gap — too much income for assistance, not enough to afford specialist care. Rural. Underserved. Underinsured. You deserve support too.
