Alison Tedford is an Indigenous woman (Kwakiutl First Nation) based in British Columbia, Canada with over a decade of experience working on Indigenous issues within the Canadian federal government. She was diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), a chronic health condition that affects the connective tissues in the body.

Alison describes how her diagnosis changed her life and how she accommodates her own health needs without asking for permission.
