Description

Wellness is a journey, and a Tampa Bay Area woman wants to bring people along with her. Giving back, after nearly losing herself is how Stephanie A. Wynn educates and inspires. In 2017, pounds were falling off her frame. Specialists said it was something called Crohn’s Colitis. Wynn had never heard of it. It’s a form of inflammatory bowel disease or IBD. Her sickness and her story are leading to strangers' wellness through the Stephanie A. Wynn Foundation. The nonprofit's mission is to "remove healthcare and financial disparities faced by underserved African Americans who are diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) specifically Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease," according to its website.
