Olga Lucia Torres, JD, MS: Torres is a Narrative Medicine expert, speaking and being published on how to improve clinician-patient communication. She also speaks on and has been published in the New York Times, Parents Magazine, and various other publications on disability rights, healthcare and structural racism in healthcare, and what it’s like to live and parent in New York City as a disabled person and with all her medical conditions.
Torres has been sick her entire life: starting with a pediatric pituitary adenoma, later developing lupus and five other autoimmune diseases, then experiencing a devastating brain injury that left her disabled. As a first-generation Latina, she was one of the eight founding attorneys of the Bronx Defenders, and is now a lecturer in the Narrative Medicine program at Columbia University.
Torres is also a patient advocate and is the New York State Advocacy Chairperson for the Lupus Foundation of America. Additionally, she’s a member of the medical advisory board of 'Hear Your Song', a nonprofit that empowers children and teens with serious illnesses to make their voices heard through collaborative songwriting. She’s also the Chair of the Board of Trustees of the Multicultural Media Correspondents Association, an organization that seeks to increase diversity across all platforms of media.
