A series of short conversation formats was produced for World Rheumatism Day 2025. Ira appears in two of them: “Things we don’t want to hear anymore”, about lines like “it’s just dry eyes”, and “Gender medicine: chronically ill as a woman”.

The talks show how Ira speaks: openly, personally and with a clear purpose, so that others living with these conditions feel seen.

  • Things we don’t want to hear anymore

  • Gender medicine: chronically ill as a woman
