"It is our stories that help to save lives and preserve the legacy of our predecessors."
Gabrielle McCord-Shufford | Project RIBBONS, CEO

RIBBONS stands for:
Reclaiming Identity
Breaking Barriers
Opening New Spaces.
We are a collective of voices — survivors, advocates, storytellers, and allies — committed to reclaiming our narratives and reshaping the face of health equity.
✨ Project RIBBONS Advocacy Training
A certificate-based program that centers Black and Brown voices in cancer advocacy.
We equip advocates, survivors, and community leaders with the tools to speak truth to power, influence systems, and champion equitable care.
🌿 Project RIBBONS Storytelling Community
A healing space where lived experience meets legacy.
Through storytelling, we honor the resilience within our communities and turn personal testimony into a collective movement for change.
We exist to:
Every voice holds power — whether you’re stepping into advocacy or finally releasing the story that’s been waiting to be heard.
At Project RIBBONS, every testimony, every survival, every rebirth, becomes a catalyst for healing and systemic change.
Use this space to begin.
Start your journey as an advocate, or share your story and let your truth inspire a movement.

My training style is raw, real, and rooted in lived experience. I combine professional advocacy tools with my personal journey as a Black woman, mother, and cancer survivor to create a space that feels both educational and healing.
I don’t just give you theory — I teach you how to use your story as a tool for impact. I center cultural competency, equity, and authenticity so that every advocate feels empowered to lead in their own voice.

I specialize in advocacy training, culturally competent health education, and creating safe spaces that empower women — especially Black and Brown communities — to reclaim their voice and break barriers in healthcare
