    I am a migraine advocate, freelance writer,and graphic designer. In December 2016, Ihumbly combined my passions to start ablog about my new life with chronic illness.     After losing many jobs indirectly tomigraine, I couldn't allow my gifts to go towaste. I am now a chronic pain and migraineadvocate through my blog, speakingopportunities, and social media. Advocacy isgreat therapy for both myself and thecommunity.
