I was reading an article today titled "Toronto woman uses the power of social media to raise ostomy awareness." Jessica Grossman started uncoverostomy.org in 2009 to share ostomy awareness. "Grossman recently celebrated her 20-year ostomy anniversary and was even featured in People magazine for her work to bring awareness to ostomies, and reduce the stigma surrounding the bag." 💪❤️

Here is the link to the article if anyone is interested: https://toronto.citynews.ca/2023/02/24/toronto-woman-ostomy-awareness/

Thanks, Sally, interesting article. Jessica is an inspiration to put herself out there to educate others about a hidden but lifesaving procedure.

She really is an inspiration. 😍 I didn't even know what an ostomy was until I needed one.

You know I have to say it... Grossman... exposing ostomy awareness - seems fitting. jb
