Episode Synopsis

I was diagnosed with melanoma at the age of 22, but was one of the lucky ones who caught it early enough. After a few months and several surgeries, I was declared cancer free but chose to start the Melanoma Awareness & Prevention Program to educate others about skin cancer and how to prevent it. I have visited numerous classrooms and organizations across the state of Arkansas to give my presentation and tell my story. I have also raised thousands of dollars for cancer research and was the 2019 AIM at Melanoma Dallas Walk Honoree. I am currently writing a children’s book about sun safety and plan to have it published by later this year. Cancer is something I am not glad to have had but I am thankful for the opportunities it provided; being able to help just one person avoid going through what I did is well worth it. Follow us on Instagram @oneworldonefuturepodcast to be the first to know when new episodes drop!
