Daneshia Drakeford is a woman of resilience, faith, and courage. Diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in her twenties, she has spent nearly two decades fighting a battle few could see. For years, she carried her illness in silence, determined to push through school, work, motherhood, marriage, and caregiving without letting the world see her struggle. What once was her secret eventually became her testimony-a story she now shares with authenticity to inspire others.Born and raised in New Brunswick, New Jersey, Daneshia has lived most of her life in the city that shaped her values of perseverance, family, and hard work. She worked for more than 25 years in customer service at Home Depot while also pursuing her first love-acting. A theatre student at Middlesex College, she honed her craft on stage and screen, balancing her career, education, and health with an unshakable determination.In her debut memoir Silent Battles (published by Jacinth Media Productions, available soon on Amazon Books, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart), Daneshia reveals the private struggles she once tried to keep hidden: a multiple sclerosis diagnosis, the weight of caregiving, the heartbreak of financial collapse, and the miraculous birth of her son against all medical odds.After years of carrying these battles alone, she chose to reclaim her story. "I reached a point where I was no longer ashamed of my diagnosis or my journey," she shares. "This book is my way of standing in my truth and saying, 'This is me.'"With Silent Battles, Daneshia delivers a powerful message of hope, faith, and resilience. She wants readers to know they are not alone-even when life's toughest trials feel invisible to the world. She sheds light on the unseen toll of MS, reminding audiences that strength often lives in the places no one can see. Her story highlights moments of fearless decision-making: defying doctors who told her not to have children, balancing motherhood with a chronic illness, rediscovering herself as a woman, and courageously rebuilding her acting career.As she steps into this new chapter, Daneshia envisions expanding her advocacy through MS walks, seminars, and community outreach. With dreams of becoming a national voice for MS awareness-and even founding her own nonprofit-she is committed to using her platform to inspire, educate, and empower others.Above all, Daneshia is a devoted mother, daughter, sister, and friend whose resilience shines through every role she carries. Her journey reminds us that illness does not define identity, and that even in the face of adversity, you can rise stronger, live boldly, and transform silent battles into powerful testimonies of survival.
