Kerry Wong lives in Westchester, NY, with her husband, the boy next door she had a crush on since she was a child. She was diagnosed with sarcoidosis in 2015, after an 8-year search for answers. Though disabled, Kerry remains active as a writer and advocate for the rare disease and chronic illness communities. Her goal is to help others living with these conditions feel seen, validated, and empowered.

Through her column, Kerry shares how chronic illness has led to transformation, and invites readers to float with her, “like a Buttahfly.”
