✨ THANK GOD I’M POPPIN’ SPOTLIGHT: Damian Washington ✨
This month, we’re shining the spotlight on ! 👏🏾🧡
Damian is an MS patient advocate, actor, speaker, and creator of NoStressMS on YouTube who has turned his MS plot twist into purpose, advocacy, and community.
After being diagnosed in 2015, Damian started vlogging to an audience of approximately … nobody. 😂 Then he shared an Ocrevus infusion video, thousands tuned in, and NoStressMS took off on YouTube. Since then, he’s earned two WEGO Health Awards, collaborated with major MS organizations, moderated a panel at ECTRIMS, and even appeared with fellow MSer Montel Williams.
Today, he’s holding it down from Bordeaux, France. 🇫🇷
A few gems he dropped:
🧡 He meditates 2–3 times a day because spending time on himself is non-negotiable.
🧡 His LinkedIn series, “Multiple sclerosis is a terrible way to meet wonderful people,” celebrates fellow MSers doing incredible things.
🧡 When life gets “double double tough tough,” he gives himself permission to rest, regroup, and begin again.
🧡 His approach to fear? Chest first. Ten toes down.
And his self-care splurge? Rewatching The Simpsons and The Lord of the Rings with his wife of 26 years. Because if it still brings you joy, RUN. IT. BACK. 📺
So grateful Damian shared his humor, wisdom, and story with us. Go show Damian some love in the comments.
