Twenty years after walking away from a successful modeling career, Kimberly Coleman is back on the scene with a powerful story of survival.
She lived through various forms of abuse as a child and dealt with rejection as a adult. She was diagnosed with Stage 2 Rectal Cancer in July, 2015, and underwent treatment for close to a year. During the course of treatment, Kimberly almost lost her life to a bowel perforation/obstruction and was given a temporary two year colostomy, which she has since decided to keep.
Coleman is a vibrant woman full of life and enthusiasm, and has an infectious laugh. Her love for life is evident in the captivating pictures she posts on social media. Her smile warms the heart, and in many of her photos, she flaunts an accessory she wears proudly – her colostomy bag.
