"Finding Strength: A Black Woman's Inspiring Experience in a Rare Disease Clinical Trial"

Tasha White, diagnosed with myasthenia gravis at the tender age of six, encountered formidable obstacles from the outset. Thanks to her mother’s keen awareness, she received an early diagnosis—an advantage many miss for years. Following decades in remission, a flare-up at 29 prompted her to explore innovative therapies. Participating in a clinical trial not only broadened her insights but also highlighted the necessity for varied representation in medical research. Today, Tasha champions clinical trials, inspiring others to participate and contribute to the evolution of treatment options.
