My name is Kelly N. Green, and I have multiple sclerosis. When I was diagnosed , I was scared, confused, and angry. I had just graduated college and my dream career in the music business seemed like a dream deffered. But I was able to conquer that and so much more - eventually.

Despite a diagnosis of MS, I went on to have a successful career in the entertainment industry. Unfortunately, this fast-paced, high-energy environment did not support an unpredictable, progressive chronic illness like MS. In fact, I spent much of my career trying to "hide" my condition for fear of being seen as less than and incapable of fulfilling my duties. 

I went through years of self-doubt; editing myself to fit some version of what I thought would make other people comfortable. The truth is, I was the only one uncomfortable. I didn't know how to show up for myself because I wanted to be "normal".

And then it all clicked - my pivot to purpose. "Diagnosed, Not Done" is the guide I wish I had then; a roadmap for rebuilding my identity, confidence, and self-worth after the diagnosis. This book isn’t about getting back to "normal.” It’s about redefining who you are now — stronger, wiser, and still becoming.
