I earned a degree in nursing and a law degree…but none of these helped with the fear and anxiety I felt. Many people think that achieving material or academic success means inner peace.

Thus the idea that I would end up with multiple advanced degrees was inconceivable to most of the adults in my life.

I have also experienced other trials such as nearly losing custody of my first child due to disability discrimination. This occurred while we were helping her through treatment for...
