From Diagnosis to Discovery: Bridging the Gap in Mental Well-being

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 19:57:00 +0000

Living with Lupus is often described as a physical battle, but the emotional and mental toll is just as significant. In this powerful episode of Lupus Has No Face, hosts Savannah Burks and Dia sit down with globally recognized Mental Wellness Expert, Dr. Lia Knox, to pull back the curtain on the "invisible" side of chronic illness.

Managing symptoms is only half the battle; protecting your peace is the other.

As the Founder/CEO of Knox Behavioral Health Solutions and Co-Founder of Black Space Inc., she has dedicated her life to providing free therapeutic spaces and breaking the stigma around mental health in underserved communities.

A true community icon and recipient of the Vel Phillips Trailblazer Award and the Milwaukee Business Journal Woman of Influence Award, Dr. Knox dives deep into Cultural Competency. She specifically addresses how those in the Black community navigating Lupus can bridge the gap between their medical journey and their mental well-being.

Tune in as we discuss navigating the emotional highs and lows of a "flaring" mind, the importance of advocacy, and why your mental health is a priority, not an afterthought.

The Best Supporting Actor: Mastering the Role of a Lupus Co-Star

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 00:30:00 +0000

Life with Lupus isn't a rehearsed screenplay; it’s an improv performance where the genre can switch from romance to medical drama in a single heartbeat. When the script flips from "Dinner Date" to "Bed Rest," who is the co-star holding the scene together?

In this cinematic and deeply moving episode of the Lupus Has No Face Podcast, host Savannah Burks is joined by special guest Aaron Fourston to explore the vital role of the "Co-Star" in the life of a Lupus warrior. Together, they discuss the art of "Improvisational Acting", learning to pivot without blame when a flare-up demands a sudden script change.

Aaron breaks down the subtle, often invisible work of a supportive partner, from reading the subtext of the "I'm Fine" Monologue to mastering "Shadow Work"—literally blocking the sun to protect the Lead Actor. The conversation dives into the practicalities of "Stunt Coordination," where offering an arm for stability or pre-opening a water bottle becomes an act of love, and "Saving the Scene" socially when Lupus Fog clouds the mind.

Whether it’s managing the "Press" questions or handling the "Post-Performance Crash" behind the scenes, this episode reveals how a true partner protects the Co-star's dignity, maintains chemistry through physical changes, and uses humor to break character when the drama gets too heavy.

A Conversation with La’Que Styles

Thu, 19 Dec 2024 02:23:00 +0000

This final episode of the year features La’Que Styles, who shares her lupus diagnosis and experience with the Lupus Has No Face Christmas charity drive. Who is La’Que Styles? La’Que Styles describes herself as multifaceted, encompassing many roles (sister, daughter, aunt, friend, mother, influencer, encourager, prayer warrior, woman of God). The name itself, derived from her given name Lakuta, represents her diverse identities and many styles. Lupus Diagnosis and Early Life La’Que first experienced symptoms around age 24, initially misdiagnosed with MCTD (mixed connective tissue disorder), an inflammatory condition encompassing five diseases. After further symptoms, including severe leg pain and faints, she was diagnosed with SLE (systemic lupus erythematosus), and fibromyalgia. A family history of arthritis contributed to the diagnosis. Initially, she didn't adhere strictly to prescribed medication (prednisone, Hydrochloroquine), managing her condition more holistically. Her approach changed after the loss of her parents in 2020-2021, leading to a more consistent medication regimen. Acceptance and the Power of Faith La’Que explains her unique understanding of "acceptance," distinguishing between acknowledging the diagnosis (understanding lupus exists in her body) and fully embracing it emotionally. She initially pushed away the diagnosis, focusing on her faith and strength. However, the loss of her parents prompted self-reflection and a desire to inspire others with her story. She now views acceptance as a gateway to advocacy and healing. The Lupus Has No Face Christmas Charity Event La'Q’s involvement stemmed from seeing Quentin's TikTok post about the event. Inspired by the opportunity to serve and help the lupus community, she willingly assisted, providing invaluable support to the event organizers. Memorable Moments from the Event La’Que highlights two particular moments: a young boy, JP3, initially hesitant to participate, overcoming his nervousness to give a powerful speech; and a young woman, inspired by La’Que's own basketball experience, gaining confidence. These encounters exemplified the event's impact on young people affected by lupus. Advocating for Lupus Awareness La’Que stresses the importance of giving back to the community, offering suggestions such as makeover events that focus on building self-esteem and beauty among women with lupus. She envisions larger-scale events and increased collaboration to expand Lupus Has No Face's reach. La’Que Styles’ Hair Products La’Q Styles created "Total Image" hair products (shampoo, conditioner, reconstructive conditioner) to address hair loss and brittleness related to lupus and other conditions. She recommends weekly deep conditioning for healthy hair. She also emphasizes the importance of consulting dermatologists for personalized advice on hair loss and scalp conditions, sharing her own positive experience with Dr. Ashley Diedrich. **Where to Find La’Que Styles** La’Que Styles can be found on Facebook (La’Que Hairstyles), Instagram (La’Que Styles), and TikTok (Wildchild). She is a traveling hairstylist and can be contacted at 414-213-6159 (business inquiries only).
