On this InVisible InCourage SHOW episode, Isabella Sementilli, an Invisible Disabilities Association Ambassador, shares her journey of becoming an advocate for anti-bullying and brain injury awareness after a bullying incident in fifth grade resulted in a debilitating head injury. Despite living with chronic pain, she has channeled her experience into positive action by writing a book, starting a business called Bella Cervella, and selling cookies to raise money for various organizations. Isabella attributes her strength to her faith and family, and she encourages others to "stay strong, be that tough cookie, and never crumble."

IDA is changing the way the world sees disabilities. IDA is about believing. We believe you! The frequently invisible nature of illness and pain may lead to disbelief about that illness or pain by those surrounding the person who lives daily with invisible disabilities. This disbelief can lead to misunderstandings, rejection by friends, family and health care providers. It may also lead to accusations of laziness or faking an illness. We are passionate about providing awareness that invisible illness, pain and disabilities are very real! Our mission is to encourage, educate and connect people and organizations touched by illness, pain and disability around the globe. Envision with us, a world where people living with illness, pain and disability will be Invisible No More®.
