Host Julana Dizon sits down with Camerone Parker! Camerone Parker, who has emerged as the leading powerful celebrity voice in patient advocacy for MS and treatment. Today, she delights audiences nationwide as a highly in-demand speaker, sharing her unbelievable story of being diagnosed with MS and hiding the disease in a highly competitive world of international fashion so that she could earn money to pay for treatment. Having been featured throughout her storied modeling career in over 350 magazines, the former face of Olay has walked the runways for designers like Vera Wang, Giorgio Armani, and Bagley Mischka, to name a few. She's been seen on billboards around the country for brands like Ralph Lauren POLO and has made appearances on "Good Morning America," "The Today Show," "The View" and more. But while she's lived a very public life, she's guarded quite the secret. While at the highest point of her modeling career, Camerone was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Because of the costs of care-one of her medications was $65,000 a year-she chose to keep her illness a secret and continue working. Now she is passionate about helping find a cure. In that arena, it is without a doubt that she is making a real impact. Camerone has raised millions of dollars for various charities and never charges a speaker's fee. Of course, fashion is still very much a part of her life and one of the things she's quite passionate about. She was recently featured in the New York Times for her jaw-dropping appearance at NY Fashion Week, and has returned to the runway, calling it one of the proudest moments of her career. She also has quite the collection of couture and vintage finds in her closet. These days there is no "typical" day for Camerone, except that she is living life to the fullest and enjoying life as a newlywed. And although she's lived quite the jet-setting lifestyle, she is incredibly down to earth. When she isn't traveling, she and her husband spend their time in Phoenix or their second home in Sedona.

Interview w/ Camerone Parker 

Camerone Parker by Good Morning LaLa Land

Kathryn interviews Executive VP of Digital Media at Engaged Media Inc William Ammerman MA, author of “The Invisible Brand: Marketing in the Age Of Automation, Big Data, and Machine Learning.” By 2020, the average person will have more conversations with AI bots than with his or her spouse. Ammerman pulls back the digital curtain on a transformed industry in which machines - not marketers - have become the ultimate arbiters. Over his career, he’s managed digital advertising for hundreds of television stations and their websites. Kathryn also interviews Model, TV Personality &amp; Philanthropist Camerone Parker. In January 1998, Camerone was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Understanding this diagnosis could potentially end her career, Camerone needed every modeling job possible to pay for her continued care and drug therapy. In 2009, she made the decision to go public with her private battle and is now a powerful celebrity voice in patient advocacy for MS and treatment.

 In studio with us today we have model, spokesperson and MS advocate, Camerone Parker, who just recently started talking about her Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis and her career comeback against the odds.  Camerone’s journey with MS started the day she and four other models became seriously ill. They were rushed to the hospital with meningitis. Camerone was treated for weeks for spinal meningitis, an extremely painful illness. Several tests were run and during this time, she found out she had Multiple Sclerosis. With the help of her family she started looking at what that meant. At age 32, she told her doctor, “You just signed my death warrant”. Together, she and her family decided to fight. Camerone chose to keep the diagnosis a secret. She had no insurance. She didn’t want her modelling career ruined. Over the years, her illness and the side effects became harder to keep secret. She got married in 2002 and started to slow down in her career. Camerone was also coming out of remission. It was getting harder to attend her charity events and she never wanted anyone to see her and think she was drunk. In 2009, Camerone Parker finally trusted a journalist with her story. She says, “You have to be in the right place and right mind and space.” She was ready. Telling her story was both freeing and frightening. The journalist was following Camerone through her treatment, showing her side effects. Camerone was exposed but determined to show her courage in battling MS. Especially since she says, “75% of all new MS diagnosis are women”. When the magazine came out, Camerone received international support through cards, letters, emails, and text messages. She no longer lived in fear of someone finding out her secret or of being judged. Camerone says, “It was awesome to have that support and it kept going”. She was approached by the National MS Society to tell her incredible story, which she tells through her laughter and tears. The hardest thing, the most painful part of having MS is having your diagnosis questioned. Camerone goes on to say that no two patients with MS are the same and with MS you don’t look sick. People don’t see her the day after she walks the runway and she can’t get out of bed, or the cataract surgeries, or the side effects of the medication. People don’t know that with MS you can go blind. In April 2011, Camerone spoke at the Women Against MS event. This was going to be the last time she would be seen in public for a very long time. Her marriage had come apart. Her illness was spinning out of control, both mentally and physically. She says she felt at the bottom edge of death. Camerone now had to fight for her life. In January 2012, she was admitted to the hospital. “I didn’t want to die,” she says. Camerone didn’t know how she would do it, but she says she knew it was “get up or give up.” Broken, she had to get back to the top. Camerone surrounded herself with a great team of doctors, her family and her friends. Through their encouragement and challenges, she came back, slowly. She received positive feedback and affirmations from the fashion industry. She set goals, and even though it took her several years, she struggled her way back. Camerone Parker is now living her dream. She will be getting married soon but she says, “My dream came true when I said, I don’t want to die”. She feels her work on this planet is not done.
