Chronic illness is part of you, not all of you



My goal is to educate, support, and encourage people living with chronic illness.

Jenneh lives a full and fulfilled life, despite managing multiple chronic illnesses. Her personal experience navigating the healthcare system as a Registered Nurse who was eventually diagnosed with Endometriosis, Lupus, and Dermatomyositis make her uniquely qualified to support anyone navigating their imperfect journey. As the author of Part of You, Not all of You, Jenneh focuses on educating and encouraging people suffering from chronic illness, advocating for their needs, and helping us all pivot to a better direction in our lives.

PART OF YOU, NOT ALL OF YOU

Part of You, Not All of You is a collection of words of affirmation, inspiration, and encouragement from Jenneh herself, and from others living with chronic illness, and includes short stories of Jenneh’s own journey with chronic illness. Part of You, Not All of You doubles as a guided journal and is filled with prompts to help the reader process and arrive at a place where they accept their illness as part of their identity, but not all of their identity.
