Meet Gabrielle
Founder of the Gabrielle Raquelle Collective and The Daisy House of Healing Network (501(c)(3) Pending)
Gabrielle "Gabi" McCord-Shufford is a stage 3 cervical cancer survivor, public speaker, public health, mental health, and Black maternal & infant health advocate, dedicated to amplifying Black and Brown voices in health and healing. Through Project RIBBONS, her healing storytelling and cancer advocacy program, and her work as a community doula, Gabrielle helps transform personal pain into purpose—using stories as tools for advocacy, equity, and lasting change.
With a passion for maternal & infant health, mental health, cervical cancer/HPV awareness and prevention, community empowerment, and survivorship, she creates spaces where women can reclaim their identities, break barriers, and lead with purpose. Whether on stage, in training rooms, or through grassroots initiatives like community postpartum care, Gabrielle inspires others to turn their lived experiences into leadership.
Her message is simple but powerful: our stories are our strength, and our voices can reshape the future of health equity.

What We Do
🎗 Advocacy Training
We equip individuals wihttps://websites.godaddy.com/project-ribbonsth the tools to speak up, organize, and push for health equity in their communities. From understanding health policy to building confidence in sharing your story, we train everyday people to become advocates.
🎗 Storytelling & Awareness
We center the voices of survivors, caregivers, and loved ones. By sharing authentic stories, we break stigma, build empathy, and demand visibility for Black and Brown communities impacted by cancer.
🎗 Peer Support & Mentorship
No one should walk this path alone. We connect survivors and caregivers with mentorship and safe spaces to share experiences.
🎗 Community Engagement & Events
We bring people together through workshops, healing circles, and public campaigns that highlight disparities and celebrate resilience.
Our Stories
Advocacy & Storytelling
These are powerful stories from Black and Brown cancer survivors.
Each voice reflects resilience, truth, and the unique challenges faced in navigating diagnosis, treatment, and healing. By sharing their journeys, these survivors break silence, honor lived experience, and create space for others to feel seen, supported, and never alone.
Support for Mamas
Support for Mamas
We believe it takes a village to nurture mamas and their babies. Our mission is simple: to pour love, knowledge, and care back into the community that raised us.
Through postpartum support, education, and advocacy, we’re working to reduce postpartum depression and change the story around Black maternal and infant mortality. Every birth we serve is an act of healing—and every mama we help is encouraged to pay it forward, so the circle of care keeps growing.
