Daphne Huff is a Birmingham native. She's a Ramsay High School graduate and received her bachelors of science in early childhood and elementary education from the University of Alabama. (Daphne says "Roll Tide Roll!") After her second breast cancer diagnosis, Daphne's doctors discovered the cancer had metastized to a lymph node. Daphne says she is "God's Favorite," crediting Him with saving her through two breast cancer diagnoses by providing her "amazing cancer doctors, support staff and Forge!" Through Forge, Daphne was connected with fellow breast cancer survivor and Haute Pink model Betty Shivers. Betty serves as Daphne's peer counselor. "Betty Shivers has been my angel!" says Daphne. "I am still standing better than I ever did - surviving warrior princess!"
