An estimated 10% of Americans live with a chronic illness that could be considered an invisible disability; Lyndsey Johnson tells her story of her own experience when she developed a chronic illness at 15, and its connection to the concept of intersectionality.

Lyndsey Johnson is a Junior at Sault Area High School, and is taking her first class at LSSU this semester. She is a math nerd, history buff, swimming enthusiast, and Mitch Grassi’s number one fan!
