My Personal Brand as a Migraine Educator and Advocate

When it comes to my "brand," how my readers see me as a Migraine educator and advocate, friends and colleagues tell me that I underestimate myself and don't see myself as others see me. So, I'm going to use today's Health Activist Writer's Month Challenge prompt to take a good look at my online work, talk with some other people, and try to see me and my work more like other people do. Today's prompt says:

"My personal brand. As a Health Activist, you are a front-facing leader. What do you imagine you look like to your readers? What qualities do you possess. It’s ok to toot your own horn today – you have full permission to indulge. And don’t hold back."

My brand. My readers see me as:

• someone who understands them because of my own history with Migraine and chronic Migraine.
• someone they can turn to for accurate, up-to-date information about Migraine and other headache disorders.
• the leading patient advocate in my field.
• the person to turn to if they have questions about Migraine.
• knowledgable, dedicated, passionate, and compassionate.

Well, now that I've listened to friends and colleagues and listed these points. I need to think about them and work on how I see myself.
