‼️ Seeing this announced yesterday, I was in tears. I am deeply honored to accept the ‘Revolutionary Researcher’ Award as a patient advocate in the #IBD & #ostomy space ‼️ For someone who just 8 years ago was terrified of going on a medication that was in Phase 3 #clinicaltrials & having come back to life because of that medication, I am truly grateful. Grateful to have survived and thrived and grateful to be giving back to the community in the form of #research and #advocacy 🙏🏽 It has taken a lot to rebuild myself after all those surgeries & meds. It is an honor to have led quantitative & qualitative research studies & commentaries these last 3 years in high-impact journals like The Lancet, JAMA, Gastroenterology, Inflammatory Bowel Diseases, and many others. To the clinicians who involved me in their research and to the #chronicillness community & @socialhealthnetwork judges who voted for me, thank you for recognizing the blood, sweat, and tears it has taken to rise up from #disability and own my #Crohns to help galvanize patient-informed research 🙏🏽 And a hearty congratulations to all the rest of the finalists and winners. We are all winners and in this together 🏆 #ownyourcrohns #SouthAsianIBD #IBDesis #minorityhealth #crohnswarrior #ulcerativecolitis #sjogrens #autoimmunehepatitis #jpouch #ostomiesarelifesavers #desigirl #logkyakahenge
