Meet Hemali, a junior in high school who turned a curious question about her food allergy journey into a helpful tool that helps parents of newly diagnosed kids navigate their journey more smoothly than her own initial journey.
Reflecting back on her own experiences, she asked herself, "What do I wish my parents had known when I was diagnosed with food allergies?" Taking this question many steps further, Hemali built an online place for new food allergy parents to learn from experienced parents about all sorts of diagnosis and lifestyle topics, while collecting the best resources available online to help support their education. Her website can be found at k12allergies.com or you can follow her on Instagram (@K12Allergies).
Hemali is very passionate about increasing food allergy awareness in her hometown of Northwest Arkansas as food allergies are on the rise, and there is still a lot of negativity associated with them in schools (hence her emphasis on K12).
After many years into the journey, Hemali now sees her food allergies as a key part of shaping her life for the better. She wishes that others might also start thinking about the condition as an opportunity to grow and learn rather than just a hurtful disease that completely hinders lives.
