ACS CAN Team Lead

Charlotte, NC

Black Volunteer Caucus

I am a 9-year Survivor of both Colon and Breast Cancer and have served as an ACS CAN ACT TEAM LEAD in Charlotte, NC District 12 since 2017. I am also a member of the ACS CAN BLACK VOLUNTEER CAUCUS, and recipient of the 2022 ACS CAN Volunteer of the Year Award.
I've been a Cancer Healthcare Speaker since 2018.

Featured in an Interview on Medical Debt, on WBTV, Charlotte in 2023, I attribute my cancer survivorship to the passage of the Affordable Care Act and its subsidies that helped pay for over $100,00 in medical bills.

Under Experiences of a Lifetime:

• Thank You Facetime call from President Obama for advocacy on the 12^th Anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

• Special Guest of the White House to celebrate the 12^th Anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

• Featured speaker on Capitol Hill with the passage of President Bidens’s Inflation Reduction Act with then Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Having successfully advocated for the passage of Medicaid Expansion in NC., I work as a writer and my goal is to

Finally End Cancer!
