Content warning: Mentions of racism, ableism, suicidal ideation
In part 2 of their conversation, Mary and Emee discuss growing up in Middle Eastern families, not being "American enough," Emee's style, COVID and mental health.
Emee is a disabled fiction and non-fiction writer, vintage jewelry maker, and business owner. She has thirteen chronic illnesses and is neurodivergent. She aims to build a life that is a culmination of all she loves while refusing to sacrifice any part of her cultures, her writing, her disabled pride, or her affinity for vintage fashion. She navigates life with a peculiar sense of humor, a cane, and desserts.
