Meet Zulma Williams, a mental health therapist whose journey is a powerful reminder that it is never too late to pursue a dream. Zulma began her bachelor’s degree at 42 and graduated at 46. Just six weeks later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She faced the challenge with determination, embracing the motto: “I had cancer, cancer didn’t have ME!” At 50, she began her master’s degree, and at 60, she started another new chapter—moving to Panama to fulfill her dream of living by the beach. Zulma joins the Resilient Women Series to share a message of courage, reinvention, and possibility: challenges may change the journey, but they don’t have to stop the dream.
