Video: "Climbing Higher: Shanelle’s Lupus Story"

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system becomes overactive and attacks the body itself. Singer, poet and activist Shanelle Gabriel was diagnosed with Lupus in 2004. She joined the American College of Rheumatology‘s Simple Tasks campaign to educate others on rheumatic diseases, such as Lupus. Shanelle tells her own story of embracing the obstacles that were thrown at her, so she could use them as stepping stones to climb higher to her dreams. She is inspiring others to value their health and their life.

"The Fact Is (I Need You)" by Jill Scott on VH1 Storytellers

This is one of my favorite performers sharing one of my favorite songs. Ms. Jill Scott's "The Fact Is" always moves me. I'm very much a Daddy's Girl so it speaks to my spirit. Such a great way to say that the men in our life are important and very necessary no matter how strong we are.
