Cancer is probably one of the most threatening affiliations that everybody fears and dreads of going through. But ironically enough, a person who has survived such malignancy would say that it was the best thing that ever happened to them. And it was great not because they enjoyed every bit of it but because it changed them for the better.

Having gone through what seemed like impossible periods in her life, Danielle Harris-Branch shares with the world the strength she would not have embodied had she lived an easier life. And being a beacon of hope and faith, she talks of how the things that used to weigh her down ended up as the badges of honor she would proudly be wearing today.

Danielle F. Harris-Branch, also known as “Dani B,” is a highly respected faith-based Bible teacher and motivational speaker who speaks of the everyday miracles that God brings in people’s lives. She has also gained recognition for being the esteemed founder of Global Girls Connect — an organization where women from different backgrounds come together and lift one another.

Moreover, Danielle brings light and joy to society by serving as the executive director of R.E.A.C.H. Community Services, Inc., which is a company that provides the necessary tools for underprivileged families to lead productive and comfortable lives. And proving to be a woman of faith, she carries out one-on-one consultations, group therapy sessions, spiritual blogs, retreats, and speaking engagements. Danielle also helps out in several ministries under Bishop James F. and Lady Sylvia H. Harris from the Redeemed Assembly of Jesus Christ located in Richmond, Virginia.

As a double cancer survivor and a victor of Stevens-Johnson syndrome, Danielle wants to send everyone the powerful message that with God’s grace and mercy, anything is possible. And out of these miraculous experiences, she wrote “From the Other Side of the Bed…Allow Faith to Transform Your Perspective Through Life’s Hardest Blows,” an inspirational book bound for release in November 2020.

But aside from battles she had to win over her body, Danielle also had to help her husband, Delmar Branch, overcome a battle of his own. When the latter was just eighteen years old, he found out that he had renal failure. From then on, he spent his life leaning on God for his healing.

Throughout his journey towards recovery, Delmar clung to his faith and never stopped believing in God’s healing grace.

For almost twenty-three long years, Danielle stood by the love of her life until the latter could no longer sustain the pain. And because Delmar endured affliction well and fought to the very end, he was known as ‘the miracle man.’

Having endured the tremendous loss of her husband, Danielle became an advocate of bringing healing to those who are suffering. And being no stranger to life’s unpleasant twists and turns, she understands that one should fight the hardest when it is hardest to fight. Indeed, it is when people are about to give up that they can come across the glimmer of hope they have been looking for.

Danielle’s journey is an inspiring example for everyone to look back on every time they feel like raising the white flag. The survivor had every reason to be angry and bitter over things that happened to her, but she never caved in.

Her faith in God stayed strong even though her body failed her so many times. Thus, Danielle reminds everyone to remain steadfast amidst the multitude of troubles life hands in.
