When it comes to being a survivor, Daisha is the epitome of what the word means.
Since being diagnosed at the age of 15 with a rare cancer called ACC or adenoid cystic carcinoma, she has overcome the odds stacked against her time and time again!
For almost 20 years, she has battled this metastatic disease with faith, grace, poise and a strength that is unmatched!
She is committed to living a healthy lifestyle, and to encouraging others. Through her podcast, On A Higher Level, she shares insight to the disease, the highs and lows of receiving quality healthcare and her fight to continue on in spite of challenges and limitations.
A dedicated mother of 3 amazing children- a daughter, sister, friend, Daisha is a living example of never giving up, no matter the obstacles.
