I’m an Italian mixed raced woman, Italian-black African.

I’m 33 and I was born and raised in Firenze province.

I’m the second out of 5 siblings with which I’m very close, in fact they all contributed in the making of this blog❤️.

I’m straightforward but respectful, I seek conversation instead of confrontations. I take care of myself which I learned a long time ago, is the only way to go. They tell you even in the plane, -PUT YOUR MASK ON, BEFORE HELPING THE CHILD- that translates into take care of yourself before helping others.

My motto says “I said what I said, what YOU hear is out of my control and I would appreciate if you could keep this in mind while you go through this . I have been through many changes in life that made me who I am today and it almost feels like life has been working me up to get slapped in the face by MS! 😅

I was starting the last 2 years of study necessary to become a counsellor (therapist🧠), beside having just scored a job in a College, when I received the news. Since then everything have been falling apart, or re-arranging, whatever sounds better for you.

I had to stop everything and take a step back.

Now, I’m constantly studying yes, but myself, to sort out my limits and “adjust” to them, because that’s how it is now.

I’m hyper independent and now I’m disabled.

You do the math. 🤷🏽‍♀️
