I hope you’re all doing well as can be during these hectic times. I’m slowly getting hyped up for this coming National Diabetes Awareness Month amidst my latest role as “Co-Teacher” to my now, 7 year old T1d daughter (1 of 2), Coral. Did you know November also happens to be Native American Heritage Month! As part Native American, Native Hawaiian, Chinese, and Okinawan, I’d like to feature more people resembling similar heritage or BIPOC (black, indigenous, people of color) on my social media platforms next month. Even if you are not part of any of these ethnic groups, but have diabetes or care for someone with diabetes, I’d love to feature you too!
If you’re interested, please kindly fill out the form below and email a clear photo of yourself and/or diabetic child (no brand names shown on clothing) to typeonediabeticlife@gmail.com or send me a DM on Instagram @type1diabetic_life preferrably before November 13, 2021. Photo, brief biography, and any other information you’d like to share from this form will only be used for this campaign. I wouldn’t ever sell your information because I gain nothing from that – this is purely to spread awareness and amplify melanted voices within the diabetes community. If you’re a healthcare worker, you are my hero and I want to thank you by featuring you in a post on Instagram or Twitter too (whichever you prefer)!
Pay it Forward
