What does it mean to be diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in your 20s – a decade often defined by independence, identity, and discovery?

The Multiple Sclerosis Association of America is pleased to present the first episode of The MS Journey: Stories and Strategies for Women Across the Decades, exploring how MS can shape early adulthood. Patient advocate Stephanie shares her personal experience navigating diagnosis and identity, alongside insights from neurologist Dr. Mitzi Williams, Co-Chair of MSAA’s African American Advisory Council, on managing MS at the start of adulthood.

Together, they discuss the uncertainty, adaptation, and resilience that often define living with MS in your 20s. This episode is hosted by Kate Durack, Director of MSIN Communication and Patient Focus at MSAA.

This program is made possible through the generous support of EMD Serono.

This episode was produced and recorded at Gradwell House Recording in Haddon Heights, NJ. Music provided by The New Anxiety (Tim Recuber and John Masino III).
