My name is Latoya, I am a child and youth worker who specializes in mental health. I have had HS for over 17 years, I have been through my share of medical treatments and multiple surgeries. Due to my experience with HS especially with my most recent surgery, I have grown the desire to bring more awareness to HS. I have created "Hidradenitis & Me" support group as a step to allow ourselves to begin to heal, take our life back, and to end the quiet storm of feeling alone through our journey.
My name is Chevonne. I’ve had HS for over 12 years, and I believe I’m finally past the worst moments of my HS experience, but over the years I’ve had my fair share of very, very bad days. On my worst days, I would pray for better ones, and now that I have them, I’ve vowed to never forget where I’ve come from, or how low I’ve been. For a long time, I was too embarrassed to talk to anyone about my experience with HS. Now, I’m happy to be apart of Hidradenitis & Me, where we are building a community of HS Warriors who support each other in every aspect of living with HS, from wound care to self-care, and everything in between.
To the world I am a child care Supervisor and ECE Educator but on the inside I am a conqueror, over-comer of many life battles but most of all, I am an HS warrior. I have been a warrior since I was 17 years old. I know the mental, physical and spiritual exhaustion of always trying to play superwoman. Someone who looks strong on the outside but constantly fighting tiring battles on the inside. Sometimes we have to take off our cape and masks and really take care of ourselves. This is why I am honored to be apart of Hidradenitis & Me Support Group, to help others spread positive vibes back into our life.

I have been an outreach coordinator for several years with my home church. I have a passion for helping others within the community providing support to homeless shelters, food banks etc. My interest in HS comes from being a parent to, two daughters who have been diagnosed with Hidradenitis Suppurativa. I believe this illness not only affects those with it but also the people who are supporting them.
