Rachel Croom is an artist, advocate, and unapologetic force of nature, living life on her own terms despite Tourette Syndrome. Diagnosed at 10, Rachel refused to let TS define her. Instead, she's harnessed its energy into a vibrant artistic career and a mission to promote acceptance. Through her art, Rachel shares her experiences, sparking conversations and challenging stigma. Her pieces are a kaleidoscope of color, emotion, and movement, reflecting the complexities of life with TS. As a sought-after speaker, Rachel inspires audiences worldwide, sharing her story and strategies for thriving with Tourette's. She's a fierce advocate for disability rights, inclusion, and representation. Rachel's work's been featured in prominent galleries, publications, and media outlets. She's a recipient of numerous awards, including the TSRI's Rising Star Award. When she's not creating art or advocating, Rachel's probably sipping coffee, practicing yoga, or geeking out over her favorite TV shows. She's a true original, always speaking her mind and inspiring others to do the same. Rachel's philosophy: "Tourette's is a part of me, but it doesn't define me. I'm more than my tics." Her art, advocacy, and spirit embody this mantra, making her a beacon of hope for those living with TS and beyond.
