As a member of this prospering community of allergy education, I would like to properly introduce myself. I am Tiffani Pope, proud founder and voice of Nutties for a Change. Nutties for a Change is an organization initiating efforts in prospects of eliminating food allergy ignorance. At 14 years old, I live with severe peanut and tree nut allergies, as well as an acute shellfish allergy. Having lived with my allergies for 12 years, I have become accustomed to the allergic living life style. I established Nutties for a Change February 21, 2014; since then, I have been an active contribute to this rewarding community, privileged with so many great opportunities to promote allergy awareness. I believe it is imperative that our society becomes more educated about anaphylaxis and allergy fundamentals, as it’s purely dangerous not to be. People need to realize that allergies are serious and have the potential to take someone’s life. I strive to spread this awareness.Unfortunately, I feel our society, particularly restaurants and “non-allergic people,” has drifted away from the understanding of this, because it does not pertain to their personal lives. With the prevalence of allergies, it is vital that we rekindle this understanding; that is precisely what I am pursuing to do.I am aware that this journey may be quite a handful, considering I am only 14; however, I feel as though I am empowered enough to drive my ambitions alongside infinitive support. I am still foreseeing the ultimate future of Nutties for a Change. I feel its content and growth is rightfully excelling as I mature and become more experienced. I hope to revolve the blog edition of NFAC around my personal life as an allergic teen and influencer.
