Celebrating Neurodiversity, Beauty, and Belonging with Illustrator and Writer Allegra Thelemaque
Manage episode 389190129 series 3300376
In this episode, I interview my daughter, Allegra Thelemaque, illustrator and writer, about the idea of feeling like you belong in your body. We also discuss how finding one's own sense of style can help redefine the concept of beauty. Allegra and I both have myotonic dystrophy, a multi-system disease that can affect muscle strength, muscle stiffness, eyes, digestive system, brain, heart, and increase the risk of certain cancers. Allegra identifies as neurodivergent. We talk about how meeting others with the same condition has provided a sense of understanding and support. Allegra shares her personal journey and offers some advice to me on self-acceptance and belonging.
