"Pretty girl blues". Was this a label I put on myself or allowed others to give me?
Why did I allow myself to hide deep in my pain? I hid behind my outer beauty, clothes,
and the truth within. I displayed outer beauty, but was suffering on the inside with low
self-esteem, pity, and unhappiness. Could my beauty cover up her hurt? I desperately
wanted to be accepted. Yes, I had a darling personality and nobody could take that
away, but was it enough to mend the hurt and internal pain? My parent’s sacrificed for
all my brothers and sisters, but would they anticipate one of their children developing
cancer at the age of two. We are familiar with several types of cancer, but a baby
developing this type (Rhabdomyosarcoma) was unheard of. This was such a rare
form of cancer the doctors’ thought I would not live to celebrate my 3rd birthday. How
could this be and why? Most importantly how would doctor’s care for me? My care
began at the University of Maryland Hospital in Baltimore, but my family was later
advised to seek a second opinion at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New
York City.

The majority of my childhood and adolescent years are spent in New York City. I remember dad taking me & mom
back & forth up interstate 95. I am very thankful for my dad sister who lived in Slobaum Housing in Yonkers for that was
my home away from home for me and my mom.
At Sloan Kettering I would have many surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments. Because of the cancer,
reconstructive surgery was not optional. This procedure would cause me to have a colostomy and ileostomy bag to
aid my bladder and bowel function for the rest of my life. Even after that surgeries seem to never stop. Imagine
growing up wearing two bags, being teased and set aside because you can not tell if it is time to change your bags.
“Hey what is that smell”, they would say. I had incidents in school and when I did not know how to handle these
situations it really caused my low self-esteem. My hearts desire was to be like other children. To be teased by her
peers was heart breaking.
Becoming a teenager and maturing into a young adult were difficult years. I later involved myself in boyfriends, but
when they got close I would break it off, fearing they would not understand. I had a method of trying to hide “the secret”
(my colostomy bags). In my mind I thought they could see my bags through my clothes. The answer was no, but in my
mind I thought yes. I knew someone will understand. It seem like no one did, what a fool I felt like. Continuing to hide
behind my family, friends, and pretty looks, I developed the craft of covering and dressing up the outside. This disease
causes me to hide deep in my pain.
Questions would arise. How would I cope? How would I handle what life had dealt me? Can I continue to hide “the
secret”? So I asked myself, “Why do I feel so blue, and how can I change the way I am feeling”
Surely, there was an answer. I could not imagine, but God would change my life. He healed me from cancer along with
wonderful doctors and nurses at Sloan-Kettering. I am His miracle child. God not only healed my physical body, but my
spirit and mind. I am thankful for that spiritual process which took place within me. My insecurities did not change
overnight, but I learned how to be a survivor. The question was not “why me”, but “Why Not Me”. This “secret” would no
longer be a secret, but a triumphant story. My trials and tribulations tested my faith, but it made me stronger. God
instilled in me an inner strength I thought I did not have. This journey has taught me so much and I will use this
experience for my aspirations in life.
My situation is unusual in this modeling industry, but I thank God for opening doors that other wise would be shut in
my face. To see the outer beauty you could never tell I live with these adversities. After all I have gone through; who
would have thought becoming a fashion model, inspirational writer, motivational speaker, and owner of J & Company
Christian Modeling was in the plans for me. But it does not stop; there is so much more to come. This story may seem
personal, but because of my adversities in life I will continue to reach out, encourage, uplift, listen, understand, and
help those in need. My faith and trust in God makes all the difference. I am thankful for my family, friends, and most of
all angels that watches over me.
Today, at 43 years old I am blessed with a husband of 15 years. I will continue to have one-colostomy bag and the use
of a self-catheter for the rest of my life. I am very thankful for this journey. I am a Fashion Model, WOW; sometimes I
can not believe it and at 43 years old. As I look back over my life I would not change anything. My light will continue to
shine so others can witness and know they can overcome obstacles. Do not be ashamed or afraid to tell your story
because you never know how “blue” someone may feel. I can and will live a full and vibrant life.
