Profile – Michelle Hannah

Bio

Michelle R. Hannah, through her life’s medical challenges and overwhelming love for humanity and the health and well-being of women, is among the most influential women today. Michelle’s family, education, and personality molded her for life as a resounding voice for women, particularly in areas of health and wellness evidenced by her fight against cervical cancer and the Human Papillomavirus Virus (HPV). She is a strong advocate for women and the 21st Century medical and social challenges they face.

In 2004, Michelle left California, moved to Washington, DC and founded the Celebrate Life Foundation dedicated to educating on HPV which causes cervical cancer and other cancers. Through many programs, including “Stomp Out Cancer” (designed for sororities/fraternities), Teens Against HPV, and the one and only Survivors Pageant, lives are being saved. Michelle is dedicated to providing education and awareness for her foundation’s causes.

Her remarkable spirit, determination, motivation, and personal experiences are what makes for a life of respect for human dignity and social change. Born and raised in Southern California, she received her undergraduate degree in Psychology from California State University, Dominguez Hills, her MBA from Strayer University, and a Masters in Teaching, Learning with Technology from Ashford University. She is pursuing a PhD. Michelle has held several leadership positions and is a corporate liaison, author and entrepreneur currently. She is the proud mother of a beautiful and talented daughter.

After going through another health scare in 2010, Michelle channeled her energy into writing a book, pursuing life coaching, and embracing public speaking as her gift to the world. This endeavor made sense; Michelle’s successful career in public speaking spanned 10 years. Michelle has also coached cancer survivors on how to “live life beyond cancer” and how to develop healthy relationships since 2004.
