I’m Monika Hilton, in 2017 I was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease called Scleroderma, which translates to "hardening of the skin." This connective tissue disorder leads to an overproduction of collagen, resulting in chronic pain, skin tightening, joint stiffness, fatigue, intestinal complications, and potentially organ failure.
For over 20 years, I thrived as a competitive chef and cake artist, showcasing my skills on Food Network's "Cake Wars" and Netflix's "Sugar Rush," while building a significant clientele in the Southeast, as well as within the entertainment industry. Unfortunately, due to the loss of mobility in my hands, I can no longer cook, bake, or decorate cakes.
Just when I thought my creative journey had ended, I swapped my spatula for a paintbrush, and wow, look at God! 🎨✨ Scleroderma has profoundly impacted my life, but I am now on a mission to raise awareness about this condition through my artwork. Since there is no cure, early detection is vital in slowing its progression which is why my passion for spreading awareness is so important.
My paintings are vibrant reflections of my journey and resilience, and I would love to share them with you. You can view and purchase some of my artwork directly on my website: www.TheMoExperience.org.
I would appreciate the opportunity to schedule an interview with you to discuss Scleroderma, my experiences, and how others can support this cause. By sharing my story, I hope to raise awareness and inspire hope for those facing similar challenges.
If you’re interested in having a conversation and helping to spread the word about Scleroderma, please reach out to me at 404-857-7675 or visit my website to schedule an interview. Together, we can make a difference and bring much-needed attention to this often-overlooked disease. Your support can truly help. Your reach is enormous and im convinced your influence can help me bring awareness to many people on various platforms.

Spreading Awareness
Our Purpose
Spreading awareness for scleroderma is important for several reasons
-
Early detection and diagnosis: Scleroderma is a rare autoimmune disease that affects the connective tissues in the body, leading to hardening and tightening of the skin and other organs. Raising awareness about the symptoms and risk factors of scleroderma can help individuals recognize the signs early on and seek medical attention promptly. Early diagnosis can lead to better treatment outcomes and improved quality of life.
-
Education and understanding: Many people are unfamiliar with scleroderma and its impact on those affected by the disease. By spreading awareness, we can educate the general public, healthcare professionals, and even those within the medical community about scleroderma. This helps increase understanding, empathy, and support for individuals living with the condition.
-
Support and resources: Awareness initiatives can help connect individuals with scleroderma to support groups, patient organizations, and resources. These networks can provide crucial emotional support, information, and resources for managing the disease and improving overall well-being.
-
Research and funding: Increasing awareness can also generate interest in scleroderma research and attract funding for further studies. Advances in scientific understanding and potential treatment options rely on ongoing research efforts. By raising awareness, we can promote the importance of funding and support for scleroderma research, bringing us closer to improved treatments and ultimately a cure.
Overall, spreading awareness for scleroderma is essential for early detection, education, support, and advancing research efforts. It can make a significant difference in the lives of individuals living with the disease and contribute to improving their overall quality of life.
