My name is Joseline Molina. I  was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. But, I relocated to the Houston, Texas area. Being a cancer survivor myself  who was diagnosed with stage 4 Wilms Tumor and having undergone chemotherapy, radiation, and having my right kidney removed. It taught me that your outlook changes everything in life. The quote I live by is, “after every storm comes a rainbow.

Through The American Cancer Society, not only have I been able to advocate for those going through similar situations but I have been able teach others the difference in having a positive outlook. There are several individuals similarly to me who use their voice to help others and inspire hope within our community. Those individuals I have met through ACS have inspired me to continue my pursuit in the legal field and help those in need.

I have had the opportunity to be a speaker for Relay For Life in California, Arizona, and other states. My family continues to remind me the importance of using your voice and the importance of inspiring others. My mom who was my caretaker was a prime example of resilience which is a characteristic I hope to showcase as Voice of Hope speaker.

In my free time I enjoy going to concerts, traveling, and going to the gym. As I travel the world more and meet people, I realize that cancer has does not sleep and knows no borders, color, or background. I aspire to live a life where cancer does not exist and where we will no longer hear the words “you have cancer.”
