They talk more about the mission of the association and its top priorities.

 

Althea Holmes has spent much of her life navigating a world that often underestimates what’s possible for people with rare conditions. She was born with Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita, and has suffered the loss of her husband and mother. Now, she’s using her life experience to support others through creativity. She offers a deeper glimpse into her journey and inspires others through a self-published bio-zine, called Ewkniklee Mee. Holmes talks with Rose about some of the most defining moments in her life.
