Origin Story When Victoria Reese Brathwaite was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2012, she found herself alone. Though highly educated and insured, her symptoms were dismissed, her questions unanswered, and no image of anyone who looked like her appeared in brochures or online searches. Frustrated by the absence of representation and community, Victoria began documenting her story publicly — sparking a movement in 2017 under the banner #WeAreILLmatic . What started as a hashtag grew into a national patient advocacy nonprofit in 2020. Today, We Are ILL off | #WeAreILLmatic Fighting for a world where Black women with Multiple Sclerosis, LUPUS AND OTHER AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES are seen and heard. Ori
