The Sunflower Conversations
The Sunflower Conversations are where we explore hidden disabilities through the prism of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower.
In a world where it can be hard to feel like your story matters, we want to give you a space to share your experience. Whether you or someone you care about wears the Sunflower lanyard, we hope that by giving voice to these experiences, we can empower others and encourage more people to support people with invisible disabilities.
