    Kidney Disease portrayal in Media

    In this episode, we discuss Kidney disease portrayal in media and how celebrities and social media have brought awareness to the cause. We will delve into the narrative portrayed in media and how we as patients choose to take the lead in sharing our narrative to normalize CKD and transplantation. The questions we address are: why do we choose to share our story? what responsibility do we have as patients to share our experience, and how can we all bring awareness to the cause in our way? Tune in to join us on this discussion and share with us your thoughts :)
