The Rebellion Within

My podcast is about the struggles of having allergies and asthma during adolescence. Food allergies are a commonly misunderstood area of health, especially for fellow students and peers. Through my Podcast, I hope to raise awareness about the importance of food allergies and the mental health impact it has. I am also a Teen Advisor for the Food Allergy Research and Education nonprofit organization, and continue to advocate there as well. Recently, we met with Congressional Representatives to advocate for including sesame as a top allergen. This change was adopted! Raising awareness makes a difference, and can change lives.
