In this deeply personal episode of Beyond Nrml w/ Mya Lamis, I sit down with my friend Alicia to have an honest conversation about Black health and ALS awareness.
There’s a harmful myth that Black people don’t get ALS — but that couldn’t be further from the truth. Alicia bravely shares her journey after being diagnosed, spreading awareness, and shining a light on the importance of health conversations in our community.
💬 In this episode we talk about:
-
The reality of ALS in the Black community
-
Breaking myths & spreading awareness
-
The emotional impact of Alicia’s diagnosis
-
How she’s working to complete her bucket list
-
Why raising money matters and how you can help
-
The importance of gratitude, presence, and living fully
✨ Alicia was given 3–5 years to live by her doctor, but her faith, strength, and resilience inspire us to live every day with purpose.
🙏🏾 Please consider donating or sharing to help Alicia complete her bucket list.
