WAD was there for us at our darkest point in dealing with Diabulimia. It was a very scary time not knowing if my daughter was going to die and Asha was there for me as well as for my daughter. Asha worked tirelessly with my daughter and was the key pivot point to get her to begin her recovery treatment - which saved her life! Asha would call her day and night to make sure she was safe and supported through this very difficult time. I’m truly amazed and so very thankful for Asha’s dedication. Asha is compassionate, caring and completely dedicated to helping those in need.

Asha is easily one of the most kind, empathetic, tenacious, determined, strong women I’ve ever had the pleasure of calling a colleague and friend. The amount of heart that she pours into what she’s passionate about, which is helping people recover and heal, is nothing short of incredible. Working with Asha is truly a joy, and I’m grateful to know her.

As a registered dietitian-nutritionist and certified diabetes educator, I have been in search of an organization which is devoted to people who suffer with the complex issues associated with eating disorders and diabetes. My search lead me to the incredible and unstoppable Asha Brown. Asha and her organization "We Are Diabetes" are the primary resource for people of all ages suffering from this eating disorder. Asha is a true visionary. I recommend We Are Diabetes to my professional colleagues and as well as to clients and their loved ones.

Powerful are the leaders who experience something, no matter how horrific, and return saying we can do something about this....together. Asha's generous heart and fierce desire to undertake helping those who believe they are all alone and that no one cares, allows the hope to those who live in the darkness of shame for no other reason than they have not been shown the light. Asha and her We Are Diabetes is not merely a light, it is a zenith of solar explosion shining a beacon of hope for all in need from someone who has walked in the same shoes and seeks the same things. Her battles are constant, her drive to live better is unquestionable, and her 'take-my-hand-and-let's-do-it together attitude' is not merely admirable, it's humbling; especially to those, like myself, who are privileged to also call her a friend.

Over the years, I have had the pleasure and privilege of working with Asha on various projects. Her development has been astounding as a patient advocate, and now, patient leader advocate. Asha's dedication, tenacity and compassion make her a highly sought-out speaker in the diabetes space. Her passion is consistent and clear. Her grace, coupled with her experience, provide a warm, welcoming environment for patients, providers and funders, despite the delicacy of subject matter.
