Today’s guest is one of the hardest-working women I’ve ever met — a strong, beautiful mother whose heart for others shines through everything she does. She’s the founder of a nonprofit that delivers care bags to cancer patients, a gesture of love that brings comfort and hope to people when they need it most.

But what truly makes her extraordinary is not just what she does — it’s who she is. Verazonda Walker has faced life’s storms head-on: abuse, heartbreak, loss, and cancer — not once, but twice. And yet, instead of giving up, she learned to dance in the rain. Her story is one of resilience, transformation, and faith — a reminder that even in life’s darkest moments, we can still find beauty, purpose, and light.

In her powerful reflection, “Dancing in the Rain,” Verazonda takes us through her journey — from surviving trauma to building a life rooted in gratitude and love; from breaking generational curses to watching butterflies emerge as symbols of renewal. Her story will move you, inspire you, and remind you that healing isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass — it’s about learning to dance through it.

Please welcome… Verazonda Walker.
