Claudia Longo, a top high school soccer recruit headed to the University of Washington, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis during her senior year but remained determined to play Division I soccer, ultimately overcoming setbacks to contribute in her final season. Inspired by her journey, she founded MS, I’MPOSSIBLE, a nonprofit supporting young adults with MS through mentorship, resources, and grants, empowering others to redefine their diagnosis and pursue their goals.

Inspired from an early age by comic books, heroic storylines, classical art, illustration, and urban design, local artist Damon Brown blends bold color, motion, texture, and narrative to create work that’s meant to be felt as much as it’s seen. This artwork envisions a futuristic hockey league that celebrates the evolution and impact of Black athletes in the sport — honoring pioneers like Willie O’Ree, who broke the NHL’s color barrier in 1958, and the many Black players whose perseverance and talent helped shape the game.

Srinika Bhagavathula is a Type 1 diabetes advocate and a new Kraken fan. After managing the daily challenges of T1D — including constant monitoring and insulin management — even facing bullying along the way, Srinika chose to use her voice to support others living with the condition.
