Hello there, I HEAR LOUD AND CLEAR! I am disabled too, and it started back in my teens but at the time they could not tell why I was falling down in severe pain, but later on they told that I had a severe form of arthritis that would get worse in pain but wouldn-t cripple me. Well it turned out to be much worse, because there was more than one thing wrong. Internally and in my bones. Perhaps because of the lack of hormones, I got premature degenerative disk disease and that led to pinched and nerves that caused severe nerve damage in my arms and legs. Then I was diagnosed with Psoriatic arthritis disease or PsA. I have mild psoriasis from it but because it-s one of those diseases that are harder to diagnose. At first they thought it was Lupus because of the similarities I had. Then nothing was controlling it, so It slowly damaged me and I finally got something that slowed it down, that-s the best I can hope for as it never stops getting worse. So every day is a challenge. I was and still try to be a fashionista too! I have a hard holding a mirror and putting on makeup because I will get the mascara and when go to look in the mirror and start, it is no longer fit my other hand! I can-t feel drop out of my hand. This will happen 10-20 times per item! Needless to say I can-t do it everyday now. It-s not that I am happy to see another woman struggle to do the same, but I live a pretty low key life, and it helped me to see I am not alone. It-s also good to see another woman who might be disabled, but still wants to look good because it helps when you normal things even if it takes a bit longer. I have always loved the slogan look good, feel good. Right. So if I can-t put some makeup, I can still put on some lipstick, and red goes with everything, lol. I can also wear a pretty blouse to lift my spirits. Or I come here and listen to stories that inspire me or teach me something. You have inspired me. Thanks for sharing your story and good luck in your venture. I think it-s lto showcase people who live with different disabilities. By the way YOU LOOK AMAZING!

I need to look into these tshirts, I-ve been trying to find some for the longest time that represent how I feel about my own journey, & I love these: )
I understood what Keisha meant when she said she didn-t tell family for 2 years after her diagnosis. On 5th Nov 2014 (& I only remember the date as it-s my nieces birthday) I was diagnosed with EDS & Fibro, both genetic. I-m still having difficulty accepting my conditions, it-s a very odd grieving process to go through. One minute you-re this able bodied individual & the next you-re facing challenges with day to day tasks that most people don-t bat an eyelid over (bending down to an oven, washing yourself, cooking food, dressing yourself)
I don-t have any support so I-ve just continued trying to be as -able bodied- as humanly possible, but my EDS is degenerative & the past 18 months have considerably worsened health wise to the point I no longer leave the house as I can-t walk far, & can-t afford my own mobility chair.
Still, we count our blessings, I-m still here & I know others have it far worse than I ever will.
Sending love & blessings to Keisha! Keep rocking it sweetie - xx

This almost makes my condition seem like nothing. I'm on the Autistic Spectrum. So. I'm not actually sick with a chronic illness. But. I do have my share of challenges to face every day. I know in my own way what it's like to be different and to feel like no one understands what I'm going through. It does help having friends around me who love me for who I am. And who do their best not to judge me.

My mom has Muscular Dystrophy as well. It is absolutely not as bad as this lady has, but it still takes a toll on her.
I know a bit of how hard this must be for you, and I'm so proud of you! I honestly love to sew, been doing it for almost 5 years now, and it's so cool to see you doing something like this! Keep up the amazing work!

So where are the clothes for the disabled! T-shirts don't count. Anyone can wear a t-shirt. I was really looking forward to seeing what she was designing because I'm disabled and I love supporting people starting out. Plus I'm always trying to find clothes that can make my life easier.

Wow, she was an adult when this individual had been diagnosed. Thank you for sharing this insightful interview of Keisha. Great way to design a clothing line as well as educate! :)

That chick in the black shirt loves signaling her oppression. Bet it bothers her that people can't tell that she's chronically ill by looking at her.
