Eve LeeAnn is a very outgoing five year old and loves to entertain—singing, dancing, and wearing costumes. With the help of her mom, Eve LeeAnn makes videos and shares on social media to spread awareness about T1D. One day she hopes to have her own video blog to teach other African American kids and adults that living well with T1D is possible.

Eve LeeAnn’s mom also has T1D and is helping her learn the importance of speaking up and speaking out about life with the disease, especially when it comes to her T1D devices. “I want to share all of the new technology and things to come with people who don’t have adequate access to the information or resources.”
