iving with lupus means navigating challenges that others can't always see.

Remember: advocating for yourself isn't asking for special treatment, it's ensuring you have the support you need to succeed. Know your rights, communicate your needs, set boundaries, and never feel guilty for prioritizing your health.

Your illness does not define your work ethic, your value, or your capabilities. 💪🏾

Lupus patients don't owe the world an apology for taking care of themselves. Protect your peace. Listen to your body. Honor your limits. Advocate for yourself. And remember—you are allowed to put your health first. 💜🦋

Today was a beautiful reminder that we are never alone on this journey.

Our Memphis Lupus Support Group came together for an open and honest conversation about Mental Health & Lupus—creating a safe space to talk, laugh, listen, share, and remind one another that our mental health matters just as much as our physical health. 💜

A HUGE thank you to our amazing speaker, Dr. Terrance Pryor, for pouring into our group, sharing wisdom, and helping us have meaningful conversations about taking care of our whole selves. Your time and heart are truly appreciated! 🙏🏽💜

And today we have another reason to celebrate!

Please help us wish our wonderful Board Member, Ms. Jackie Borrum, a VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎂🥳💐

Jackie, thank you for your dedication, love, and continued support of the Memphis Lupus Support Group. We hope your special day is filled with love, joy, and everything you deserve! 💜🦋

Remember: You don't have to go through lupus alone. There is strength in community, healing in conversation, and power in knowing that someone understands.

💜 YOUR MIND MATTERS TOO! 💜

Living with lupus is more than managing physical symptoms. The emotional and mental health challenges can be just as real—and sometimes just as difficult to see. 🦋

Join the Memphis Lupus Support Group for an important and uplifting conversation about MENTAL HEALTH & LUPUS. We’ll talk about the emotional side of living with lupus, coping strategies, self-care, finding support, and ways to protect your mental well-being while navigating chronic illness.

✨ Come as you are. ✨ Bring your questions. ✨ Share your story—or simply listen. ✨ Leave encouraged and reminded that you are NOT alone.

📅 September 12, 2026
⏰ 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM
📍 East Shelby Library
7200 E Shelby Dr, Memphis, TN 38125

💜 Let’s talk. Let’s heal. Let’s support one another.

Whether you’re living with lupus, caring for someone with lupus, or simply want to learn more, you are welcome here!

Living with lupus means learning that your social battery has limits—and that's okay. 💜

Sometimes you genuinely want to go out, spend time with family, attend church, support your friends, or enjoy a good event… but your body has other plans. 😩

Lupus fatigue isn't always visible, and needing to rest doesn't mean you're being antisocial, unreliable, or “flaky.” Sometimes protecting your energy is one of the most important ways you can take care of yourself.

So here are 8 things every lupus patient should know about their social battery. 💜
Swipe through, save this post, and share it with someone who may need the reminder.

And to our fellow lupus warriors: you don't have to feel guilty for choosing rest. Your body gets a vote, too.

💜 Rest is not selfish. Boundaries are not rejection. And protecting your peace is not something you need to apologize for.

Tennessee is Home. ❤️

For me, Memphis is Home. It’s my neighborhood, my community, my church, my people, and the places that have shaped who I am.
That’s why voting matters.

The decisions made at the ballot box affect our neighborhoods, schools, healthcare, businesses, and families. When we vote, we’re making our voices heard about the future of the places we call home.

Make your voting plan. Vote. Then challenge two people in your community to do the same.

Because Tennessee is Home. And our voices matter here.

Healthcare access should never depend on your ZIP code.

As a lupus advocate, I've seen firsthand how hospital closures and reduced access to care affect families across Tennessee. Every community deserves access to emergency care, specialists, and lifesaving treatment close to home. Your voice, and your vote, can help shape the future of healthcare in our state.

"The lines may have changed, but our voices still matter."

Redistricting affects who represents our communities and how our voices are heard. Understanding your voting district is one of the most important steps you can take before casting your ballot. Stay informed, know your district, and make your voice count on August 6.
