Wishing Alexis Rodriguez our national support group leader for MG Georgia a very happy birthday and many more. 🎉.

What an incredible day of education, empowerment, and connection!

The Myasthenia Gravis Holistic Society extends a heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who attended our Alabama Saturday Summit!

Every conversation, shared experience, question, and connection reminded us why we do this work. Bringing people together to learn, advocate, and support one another is at the heart of our mission.

We are especially grateful to our speakers, volunteers, patient advocates, community partners, and the dedicated MG Alabama team who helped make this gathering possible.

Our commitment to education, advocacy, and community engagement doesn’t end when the summit is over. We are building a stronger, more informed, and more connected community—one event and one person at a time.

From the classroom to compassionate care: the next generation of nurses.

On Tuesday, October 27, the Myasthenia Gravis Holistic Society had the incredible honor of being invited as a guest lecture at the Southern Crescent Technical College to engage with future nursing professional professionals!

Our mission was simple, but powerful: Bring the lived experience of myasthenia gravis out of the textbook and into the classroom!

Through our interactive, MyMGLife™️ Challenge nursing students participated in hands-on activities designed to simulate some of the physical challenges, experienced by people living with MG.

This wasn’t just another classroom lecture. It was an opportunity to build empathy, understanding, and a deeper appreciation for the patient experience.

We emphasize an important message to the future, healthcare, professional professionals:

🔹Myasthenia Gravis can be difficult to recognize and diagnose.

🔹 Symptoms can fluctuate making the condition challenging to manage.

🔹 Listening to patients and validating their concerns can make a life-changing difference.

🔹 YOU could be the healthcare professional who recognizes the signs and helps someone finally receive the correct diagnosis!

We were equally excited to introduce our National Anti Gaslighting Pledge®️encouraging these future nurses to embrace our commitment to LISTEN. VALIDATE. ACT. The students and instructors enthusiastically signed the pledge, reinforcing the importance of compassionate, patient centered healthcare.

And here’s something that made our visit even more special!

Three nursing students were assigned Myasthenia Gravis as their class project! We were thrilled to provide additional education, firsthand, perspectives, and resources to strengthen their presentation. We can’t wait to see their final work!

The celebration continues! We were graciously invited to attend their December 8 graduation and we look forward to cheering these future nurses on as they walk across the stage!

Community. Awareness. Advocacy. ACTION!

Our MG Holistic Society team managed to squeeze in a few photos while making an impact at the annual We C.A.R.E. Community Event in Stonecrest, GA, sponsored by the Atlanta Medical Association!

We were thrilled to connect with community members, raise awareness about Myasthenia Gravis, and encourage more individuals to add their names to our National Anti-Gaslighting Pledge™ initiative.

Every conversation creates an opportunity to educate. Every connection strengthens our community. And every new pledge signer helps amplify our message:

LISTEN. VALIDATE. ACT.

A special THANK YOU to our incredible team members who stepped up to represent MG Holistic Society! Your dedication, willingness to serve, and commitment to our mission do not go unnoticed.

This is what community advocacy looks like—showing up, speaking out, and making sure our voices are heard!

Together, we’re not just creating awareness. We’re creating change!

📚 CELEBRATING ONE OF OUR OWN! 💜

At MG Holistic Society, we believe that advocacy comes in many forms, and today we’re celebrating someone who is using the power of storytelling to make a difference!

Please join us in congratulating Ebony Bell, our MG Alabama Support Group Leader, on the release of her children’s book, “Bella Goes to the Hospital: Bella and Her Superpower — A Story About MG.” 👏🏾💜

Ebony is taking myasthenia gravis awareness to the next generation by helping children better understand chronic illnesses, embrace differences, and recognize that every child has their own unique strength.

What makes this book especially meaningful is its message of compassion, courage, understanding, and inclusion. Children living with chronic illnesses deserve to see themselves represented in stories, and their friends and classmates deserve opportunities to better understand their experiences.

💜 This is what advocacy looks like! Taking your passion, your experiences, and your voice and turning them into something that can educate and empower others.

Ebony, we are incredibly proud of you! Thank you for your leadership in our MG Alabama community and for extending your impact beyond our support groups and into the hearts and minds of children everywhere.

📚 Let’s support our MG family!

“Bella Goes to the Hospital” is available through Barnes & Noble, Walmart, and Google Play.

Help us celebrate Ebony by sharing this post, congratulating her in the comments, and supporting her new book!

When one MG warrior rises, we celebrate together! 💜

MG Ambassadors: Making Memories, Sharing Laughs & Building Connections! ❄️💙

Who says advocacy can’t be FUN? 😆

We absolutely LOVE seeing MG Ambassadors come together, support one another, share some laughs, and just enjoy life!

Living with myasthenia gravis can come with challenges, but moments like these remind us that we are so much more than our diagnosis!

Sometimes the best therapy is laughter, friendship, a little silliness, and being surrounded by people who truly GET IT! 💙

We’re building friendships, a community, and connections that go beyond MG.

Keep laughing, keep connecting, and keep making memories! Life is meant to be LIVED! ✨🥰

Because MG may have brought us together, but friendship keeps us connected!

CHARLOTTE, YOU SHOWED UP AND SHOWED OUT! 💙💚

What an incredible experience at the Black Health Matters Summit & Expo in Charlotte, NC!

We are proud of our continued partnership with Black Health Matters (BHM), helping us bring myasthenia gravis (MG) awareness, education, and advocacy directly into our communities.

And Charlotte, the numbers speak for themselves!

💪🏽 244 PEOPLE participated in our MyMGLife™ Challenge, getting a glimpse into some of the everyday challenges people living with myasthenia gravis may experience.

✍🏽 159 PEOPLE signed our National Anti-Gaslighting Pledge™, committing to three powerful actions:

LISTEN. VALIDATE. ACT.

We were especially grateful to have a second table dedicated entirely to our Anti-Gaslighting Pledge initiative. Seeing so many people willing to stand up for those whose symptoms and experiences are too often dismissed was truly inspiring! We especially love seeing people from hospital systems, medical schools and representatives from the NAACP take our pledge.

👏🏽 A huge thank-you to the Black Health Matters team for creating opportunities to connect, educate, and empower our communities.
