I think it's definitely opened my eyes to new layers, or layers that I didn't have that direct exposure to in terms of just the inequities that exist within the U.S. I know that doctors look differently at me than they would if I were Black, or if I lived somewhere else. Thinking about even as someone with a massive amount of privilege on many levels, how challenging it was and how challenging it has been to find the right treatments, to be believed at certain points, and not doubted or not questioned. Thinking about the thousands and thousands of people who have chronic conditions in the U.S. who are just not going to get access to the same kind of care and not have the same kind of outcomes.
