Eva Grayzel, a nationally recognized Master Storyteller and performance artist, was diagnosed at age 33 with stage IV oral cancer and given a 15% chance of survival. After regaining her deep vibrant voice, Eva applied her stage skills to communicate the depth of her experience in a unique and powerful way. For over a decade, Eva has captivated dental professionals worldwide using story as a catalyst for change. A champion for early detection, Eva founded the Six-Step Screening oral cancer awareness campaign.


One American dies every hour of every day from oral cancer. Eva Grayzel came close to being the 'one' in this statistic. The riveting details of Eva's delayed diagnosis stimulate thinking about enhanced patient care and education. Eloquent and engaging, Eva reveals the devastating effects of treatment, driving listeners to take responsibility for early intervention. Putting a face to the disease, Eva inspires audiences with her firsthand account of hardships unanticipated and overcome; courage unknown and discovered; a mother's love tested and triumphant. Eva speaks from heart to heart: audiences don't just hear her story, they experience it.
