Come meet Candace Josef Semien as she share her story with all of us. Listen,
Lupus is not a butterfly experience for Candace Semien, it is a wolf attack. Since a diagnosis in 2016, she has fought the wolf with God, family, and science. Candace is a volunteer with the Louisiana Lupus Foundation and a national lupus advocate with the Lupus Research Alliance. She works, mothers, and lives with lupus, Sjogrens Syndrome, and (recently) Hashimotos—which, she says, is not a badge of honor, but a reality.
Even as an introvert, Candace is part of a larger voice that speaks up about the crisis of living with lupus. She encourages honest and bold patient, family, and doctor relationships. She pulls and prods for ways to live purposefully while having limited abilities or disabilities.
A journalist by nature, Candace asks hard questions about lupus and shares answers that will improve the lives of people living with chronic, autoimmune diseases. She is an insatiable reader, senior editor for the Jozef Syndicate, and sweet tea lover.
