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.

Well it's just coming upto a year since I had my emergency stoma. Since joining MAOM I have learnt all different kinds of ideas to help with the stoma. Not only that I have made a lot of good friends who I can talk to. The beauty of this site is it's not just giving tips and ideas we talk about anything and everything. So thank you for giving us a great site. XX

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
