I'm Leanna, a disabled, chronically ill writer who writes about my lived experiences on my blog The Chronic Worker and newsletter, Chronically Self Employed. I'm also a freelance content writer who covers DEAI, small business development/finance, and future of work topics as well as working full-time.
I'm working on building out The Chronic Worker into the first magazine by/for disabled/ill/ND workers (full-time and self-employed) that also offers guidance to the companies that hire them. My goal is to create the #1 work equity resource for the largest minority in the world (#1billionstrong).
Due to limited time, energy, and a current mental health crisis, this project is going to move a bit slower than I hoped, but I'm determined to get there eventually. I am grateful for any support, which will go directly to maintaining and growing the magazine.
Please stay tuned through my website and feel free to subscribe to blog updates. I am currently focusing on writing about my struggles with suicidal depression and the treatment process (TW/CW) to keep friends and family updated and spread awareness.
