Joanna Hanaka
Joanna is a disability justice advocate and chronic illness content creator focusing primarily on Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) alongside Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS). She has been living with chronic hives her entire life but in late 2018 experienced a "big sick" that heavily worsened her chronic illness symptoms.
Since then, she has been learning more about managing her symptoms and finding happiness at the same time! Joanna loves to connect with others who share her experiences with chronic illness and also to learn from those with different diagnoses. When she takes a break from her advocacy work, she loves to clear her mind by hiking or having a cozy night in with some embroidery and a vinyl playing in the background.
