Meet Our Team

Our Founder

Gennie Dean

The GD Caring and Sharing Cancer Support Group was founded by the Late Gennie Dean in 2012.

Gennie was a cancer survivor who often spoke about the need for cancer patients and survivors to heal from the mental, emotional, and spiritual trauma that accompanies a cancer battle.

She believed that while there was a huge focus on the physical impacts, more attention needed to be placed on the unseen trauma wounds.

Our President

Duquesa Dean

Duquesa, by profession, is a life coach, trainer, mentor, and published author, but in essence, she is a person who takes immense pride and joy in assisting others to move forward in their lives.

She is recognized for her personal story of triumphing over adversity. Following a life-threatening incident, she faced immense challenges including abusive relationships and neglecting her own needs. However, she eventually came to appreciate the value of inner growth and the importance of living a life true to oneself.

She has been leading the group since 2017. Under her leadership, the group was formally incorporated and has been successful in helping women thrive after a battle with cancer.

If you are a cancer patient or survivor, I encourage you to join our support group. You will get the much-needed help to live, love, and laugh along your journey.
