Lisette writes about her life as a Boricua mother-scholar with a disability (fibromyalgia)  in the academy.  The post is specific to the academy, but it also demonstrates the challenges of being a scholar of color with a disability.

The following is the link to Lisette's guest blog post on the site Write Where It Hurts -
