Award-winning producer and Verizon Media Accessibility and Inclusion spearheader Margaux Joffe was diagnosed with ADHD at age 29. She dealt with bouts of depression and anxiety throughout her 20s, which largely resulted from unknowingly grappling with the condition.
"When I was diagnosed, I started looking for information about ADHD online. I was surprised with the lack of relevant, relatable information for adult women like myself," Margaux told POPSUGAR.
She founded Kaleidoscope Society, an online community for women with ADHD to share their empowering stories, provide more accessible resources, and dispel the stigmas and narrow stereotypes surrounding ADHD.
"For too long, women with ADHD have struggled in silence due to stigma and lack of proper diagnoses. I want women with ADHD to know that they are not alone and [can] get access to the resources they need to heal and move forward," said Margaux. "Women with ADHD are highly creative, hardworking, passionate, and resilient. We are trailblazers and pioneers in a variety of fields. We have unique gifts to share with the world."
