Join us for a special virtual community “book club” conversation with Amy Rivera, author of Drop The Skirt - How My Disability Became My Superpower. This free session offers a welcoming space to explore the themes of her memoir, connect with others in the lymphatic community, and engage directly with the author.

Amy Rivera’s memoir shares her journey of growing up with lymphedema and transforming pain, shame, and adversity into strength and purpose. Through honesty and resilience, the book encourages readers to embrace their identity, overcome limitations, and discover how their greatest challenges can become their greatest source of power.  

This conversation aligns closely with the NLN’s mission to empower, educate, and support individuals affected by lymphatic diseases. By sharing real experiences and honest reflections, the book - and this discussion - help foster connection, reduce isolation, and strengthen the sense of community that is at the heart of the NLN.

Whether you’ve read the book, are just getting familiar with it, or simply want to join the conversation, this is a meaningful opportunity to hear Amy’s insights, ask your questions, and connect with others who understand the journey. All are welcome to participate.
