Podcast Premiere: In Honor of Global Lupus Awareness Day
Celebrate the launch of the Prowl The LAB podcast with our inspiring first guest, Shanelle Gabriel, M. Ed.—poet, internationally touring singer, educator, and lupus advocate. We sat down with her prior to her debut at Carnegie Hall, when she brought her unique energy to our heartfelt conversation about living and thriving with lupus.
Known for performances on HBO’s Def Poetry Jam and sharing stages with legends like Nas, Jill Scott, and Nikki Giovanni, Shanelle uses her artistry as a lifeline since her lupus diagnosis in 2004.
In this episode, she joins Ebonie Michelle to discuss how poetry, music, and storytelling have empowered her and others to reclaim their voices, build resilience, and find hope while facing chronic illness.
Whether you’re on your own health journey, supporting someone else, or just seeking inspiration, this episode offers powerful insights into healing, creativity, and thriving through adversity.
