"Saying Yes" is Chaundra's story. Diagnosed in 2016 with Stage lV Intrahepatic Cholangiocarcinoma, she has not stopped living. She has maintained a full-time job and currently serves as the Champaign Regional Health Officer for the Illinois Department of Public Health. Chaundra was elected to the Urbana City Council in 2021, serves on the Planned Parenthood Illinois Action Board of Directors, and is the president of the Urbana-Champaign chapter of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.
