The Dynamic Sister Spotlight focuses on women who are using their cancer journeys and experiences to help others.
​
Jackie L. Mungo is a cancer survivor whose journey through misdiagnosis, confirmed diagnosis and treatment inspired her to dedicate her life to supporting others facing the same fight. For the past 10 years her organization The Healing Institute Global Network has accompanied women at every stage of their cancer journey.
Juanita Waugh had the best of medical care when she had breast cancer in 2005, but she had little guidance for life outside of doctors’ offices. As a result, she struggled through a nightmare of side effects, wildly shifting emotions and fear of what could happen next. She felt like she was in a dark tunnel. Her experience fueled her passion to help others. Now she makes sure that the women in her community are not walking the journey alone and that they know how to advocate for their own top quality medical care.
​
Melodie Johnson chose to limit the people who knew about her diagnosis to her mom, an old-time prayer warrior. Together they called on God for help and guidance. Melodie refused to use the "c" word. She underwent treatment prescribed by her doctors and had multiple surgeries. She has had no evidence of cancer for the past three years. She is a caregiver to others and staffs a food pantry in her seniors apartment complex each week.​
​
These Dynamic Sisters will be celebrated at the Love Letters to Our Bodies: Day of Renewal Wellness Summit.
