This newsletter is written by mother/daughter duo Jane Gould and Emily Pavis. It is a place for them to share Jane’s story of living 22-years with multiple sclerosis (MS).
Jane has always loved to write. Her first article was published when she was ten, winning a writing contest in Rugby, England. She is a retired journalist, middle school English teacher, and university instructor. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2001 when Emily was one-year-old.
Emily graduated from The New School in New York City with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Journalism + Design in December 2021. She often writes on the intersection of fashion and disability, inspired by her mom’s experience with fashion as a disabled person. She currently lives in New York City and grew up in San Francisco, California.
Thank you for being here,
Jane & Emily x
