Jearlean Taylor

Ostomy Advocate
Jearlean Taylor
Baltimore, MD

I am Jearlean Taylor from Baltimore, MD. I am author, cancer survivor, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, fashion model, and ostomy advocate. I was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer (Rhabdomysarcoma) at the age of 3 years old. I was cancer-free a year after my diagnosis and treatments, but left having ostomy surgery which left me with two permanent ostomy (bags) for the rest of my life.

Difficult moments we often associate with life experiences. Our situations, challenges, and unforeseen circumstances does not have to dictate who we are or who we can become. I am an advocate in ostomy and cancer community, travel sharing my journey of hope, a mentor, and business owner.
I am not my circumstances. Living a purpose filled and bless life.

My story and editorials featured on Time Square (NY) & Baltimore Billboard, CBS News, Fox News, Inside Edition, Good Morning America, Essence Magazine, The Today Show, Tamron Hall Show, YouTube, and other news/media affiliates.
WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
