Women living with breast cancer, brain injuries, lupus, sarcoidosis, and spina bifida are using social media to transform their health issues into life opportunities. Social media allows them to discover their voice and passion, tell their stories, create communities of support, overcome their fears about technology, reinvent themselves by learning new skills and sharing their gifts, and conduct awareness and outreach. These women walk their daily paths as wonderful women on the worldwide web with a mission to inspire, inform, and ignite a passion for living authentically and fully!
