My name is Sunny.
I’m a hobbyist artist and chronic illness / rare disease advocate and activist. I write articles about my life with my rare diseases as well as social and political issues pertaining to chronic illnesses, invisible disabilities, and rare diseases in general.

I do read and respond to all my comments and love it when people say hello!
