“Hillary has been a commanding force in writing about raising a child who is medically fragile ever since joining Romper.com. I appreciate and am constantly awed by the breadth of her perspective and the honesty she writes with, and it’s something our readership respects as well. Hillary has proven time and time again that what you see is what you get: real, authentic, powerful, devastating, bold, and thought-provoking. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read a piece of her work and been amazed by her ability to tackle her life with purpose and drive, something I image is not easy to do day in and day out in a culture always seeking to otherize her (and Esmé’s) experience.”

“Featured on our most popular episode of the year so far, Hillary Savoie knows how to engage an audience, not just with wit and eloquence, but with passion and vulnerability and genuine heart. Her unforgettable story about her daughter, Esme, left our live audience rapt, but also made them feel as if she and Esme were people they really knew, and loved.”
