Join us as Jenn Powell speaks with multiple sclerosis patient and actor Damian Washington.
Damian Washington has had MS for 6 years. But that doesn’t stop this actor, rapper, and self-described nerd from living his best life. Listen as Damian shares his MS experience, from first symptoms and diagnosis to learning to be his own advocate. Damian speaks candidly about how the landscape of clinical trials for MS need to address inclusivity, and how African American’s need equal representation.
Warning: you may laugh. A lot.
Damian Washington is actor from New York City and has appeared in over 30 commercials and voiceovers for brands like McDonalds, AT&T and Planet Fitness. His YouTube channel NoStressMS, about life with multiple sclerosis, has over 5,000 subscribers and won a 2020 WEGO Health Award for Best in Show. Viewers say the channel helps bring levity to the often-grim topic of autoimmune disease.
