Author: Emily Thorpe

Emily Thorpe is a writer and editor out of Minneapolis. She started exhibiting signs of endometriosis at 16 but wasn’t formally diagnosed until 30, when she had her first excision surgery. That lonely and horrifying experience has not only informed Emily’s view of the world around her, but is also the reason she speaks out about chronic conditions as whole: we can only fix things for future generations with awareness and research that is inclusive and science based. She hopes to someday live in a world where endometriosis is not only recognized as more than “women’s trouble,” but where a cause and cure for the disease is found. Emily lives with her husband, cat, and dog, believes in human rights for all, and that a night with live music with those you love can fix almost anything.
