Rhonda Nelson, renowned patient advocate author and speaker. Her most important interest is AERD ,Aspirin-Exacerbated Respiratory Disease , also known as Samter's Triad. This is a chronic medical condition that typically develops in adulthood, usually between the ages of 20 and 50. Here are some key points about AERD: 

 Most people with AERD have asthma that often does not respond well to conventional treatments.  Recurrent nasal polyps are common, leading to chronic sinus infections and a loss of sense of smell.  Sensitivity to NSAIDs, such as increased nasal congestion, frontal headache, sinus pain, sneezing, cough, wheezing, and chest tightness. 

About 75% of patients with AERD develop mild-to-moderate respiratory reactions when they drink alcohol. 

Rhonda, along with her husband Wayne Nelson, the lead singer of the Little River Band, has shared her journey of living with AERD to help others understand and manage this challenging condition

Mimi Tallo Be Heard Empower Yourself

I have a passion for empowering others through my words and actions. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, I always had a fire in my spirit and a zest for life. I earned a Bachelor of Science in Health and Human Services from the University of Scranton, which ignited my passion for helping others.
I survived an alcoholic father and two abusive marriages and still managed to succeed.
Throughout my career, I have worn many hats, from a Living Skills Facilitator guiding adults with traumatic brain injuries and cerebral palsy to a Women's Liaison at the Lackawanna County Drug Court, where I championed justice and compassion. As the Director of Community Resources at Golden Lakes Village Love in Action, I wove connections and fostered a community of love and collective action.
My books include "Raised by Wolves Trapped by Demons," "Unearthing My Irish Roots," and "Surviving Your Demons." I am currently working on my fourth book, Anatomy of an Alien”. I continue to try and inspire and empower through my writing, podcast and YouTube show “Be Heard Empower Yourself”, speaking engagements, and social media presence.
I am already published on Amazon and Audible in English and Spanish.
I would like an agent to help me expand my presence in the field of non-fiction writing.
