Dr. Jones found out she had LGMD when she was in her 20's and while studying to become a doctor. Vovanti shares how she doubted herself at times that she could become a doctor. She shares how she had three factors against her becoming a doctor; 1, she was black, 2, she is a female and 3, she's disabled. This didn't stop Vovanti from becoming what she dreamed of at the age of 4 and that was she was going to become a doctor!
