Fannie Clarke | 86

Fannie Clarke came to San Francisco to go to college. Coming in on a ferry from Oakland and seeing the fog, she fell in love and knew she would live here permanently. Fannie bravely describes some of the discrimination she faced in her life when trying to get help for health issues and knowing she was not being taken seriously by her doctors. She is a straight shooter and “very opinionated” and she shares lots of her honest thoughts, for example on technology, “I couldn’t care less about computers.” , and on being an older person, “We don't want people to think that they have to make our decisions for us.”
