Empowering Purpose.
Inspiring Possibility.

Behind every rainbow is a storm worth surviving.

Our Mission

Rooted in Purpose. Driven by Impact.

The Lupus Rainbow exists to raise awareness, provide education, and offer community support by uplifting those living with Lupus and its subsets, such as Neuropsychiatric Lupus (NPSLE), as well as individuals navigating Hereditary Amyloidosis — a rare and serious condition in its own right.

We believe in teaching, storytelling, and showing up for people who are often overlooked, misdiagnosed, or told “it’s all in your head.”

Meet Our Founder: Jennifer Harper

Lupus warrior. Survivor. Educator. Advocate.

Jennifer created The Lupus Rainbow after living through the pain, confusion, and silence of an NPSLE diagnosis — and later, facing the added challenge of Amyloidosis, a rare complication that can cause severe organ damage in people with chronic autoimmune diseases like Lupus.

From hospitalizations to healing, she now shares her journey to help others recognize early signs, find the right support, and know they are not alone.

“When you live with Lupus, it’s not just one illness. It’s layers of challenges. I want to help others understand what’s really going on inside their bodies — and how to advocate before it’s too late.”

Clarifying Our Focus: Lupus and Hereditary Amyloidosis

At The Lupus Rainbow, we are proud to advocate for individuals affected by Lupus and Hereditary Amyloidosis. It is important to clarify that these are two separate conditions. While it is possible for someone to live with both, they are not related in cause, progression, or treatment.

Our inclusion of both conditions reflects the lived experience of our founder and our commitment to raising awareness for multiple rare diseases. Each focus area on our site — from Neuropsychiatric Lupus (NPSLE) to Hereditary Amyloidosis — is treated with the depth and distinction it deserves.

We believe education and clarity are key to empowerment.
