It is with💔on #ValentinesDay that I am announcing I will be deactivating my Twitter account as of 3/14/22. I don't have the physical & emotional energy to fight Twitter's marginalization of the disability community & for a blue check for my advocacy anymore (see note below). 1/4

The good news is that I will continue to be a Patient Advocate and Instagram.com will be my new home-base for the foreseeable future (@morethanmy_SLE) and I will post my continued fight for my advocacy for affordable & accessible health care in DC.💜2/4

I put much thought & consideration into my decision. It best can be summed up by this article that states Twitter continues to fail to address my community: 100+ major activists with disabilities not verified. Sadly, I cannot continue to support this. 3/4

Everything I've done in the last 5 years has been for YOU. If I moved the needle, even the slightest, I am grateful. It's been an honor & privilege being your Patient Advocate

I'm not on Twitter or checking my DMs, but @AnjelikaTheDog & I send our ❤️ & appreciation.🙏 4/4
