À propos de cet audio
In this episode of The Kidney Collective™, Tamara and Mike speak with AKF Ambassador, Nichole Jefferson, about her kidney disease diagnosis, experiences with dialysis and transplant, the importance of seeking answers about your physical health, and how to take care of your mental and emotional health. Mike and Tamara also find out that contrary to our preliminary research, Nichole is NOT a Dallas Cowboys fan...but she is a very good sport about it.
Nichole learned she had kidney disease in 2003 when she crashed into kidney failure. However, she did not find out she has a rare kidney disease, IgA nephropathy, until 20 years later. She has an unwavering commitment to driving change, fostering awareness and amplifying patient voices within the health care landscape, and educating and uplifting the Black community on the topic of kidney health.
