Political/Community Advocacy

Invisible Entrepreneurs is a nonprofit that believes in a world where it’s our abilities and NOT our disabilities that create value. One out of every 2 adult Americans lives with at least 1 chronic illness (often called hidden illnesses). The disability community is the largest minority in the world. Yet, instead of feeling inclusive and wrapped in camaraderie, most of us feel alone, unvalued and unworthy. We need doctors who understand us and colleagues and family members who believe us when we tell them something about our health. Just knowing the simple fact that they are not alone and still have much to offer can be life-changing. Invisible Entrepreneurs has the intention of changing the society so that not only the medical and health care communities are better aligned with the needs of these individuals but also guide these women to build their businesses successfully while suffering the daily aches, pains, social stigma and lack of self-worth that comes from having a long-term illness that people don’t see.
