Last month, I had the honor of joining a stellar line up of gluten-free travelers for a webinar hosted by the Celiac Disease Center at The University of Chicago. To share the virtual stage with so many well-traveled advocates and friends was a great way to celebrate Celiac Awareness Month. Thank you UChicago for the opportunity!
