Passion The Lioness
Tell us about yourself.
I am Danielle Hall. I go by Passion The Lioness. I’m a Poet, Model, Author, and Actress. I published my first book for my 30th Birthday. The title of my book is Danielle Unfolded. It’s a book of poetry about my life. It’s definitely real, raw, and uncut. I’ve worked as a model for 9 years. These last few years I’ve been doing a little acting as well. I’m very passionate about what I do. I love inspiring people, especially young women.
I started writing because for a while I was lost in life. I wasn’t confident about myself. I began to lose hope. I felt like I didn’t belong in this world. Writing gave me confidence. Not only am I helping myself but it leads me to help others like me. I started modeling when the words became too much. I was tired of writing the same sad stuff. Modeling also gave me confidence. It makes me feel beautiful. It makes me feel like I am good enough. Acting is a different kind of boost. I love the power to transform into a character. It’s a special kind of energy. I love everything that I do. It challenges me to be greater.
What has been your biggest challenge and how did you overcome it?
I was diagnosed with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) When I was 18 years old. I am now 33 years old. I used to be so embarrassed. The pain was unbearable at times. In 2018 I got my first surgery. Between 2018 and 2019 I had 5 major surgeries. They took my sweat glands out of my underarms. Then they did a skin graft. The most painful part was getting the wound vacs changed. I got both underarms done at the same time. It felt like someone was ripping my skin apart every time. I’ve had surgery on my leg. I got a skin graft on my leg as well. They used the skin from my thighs to do the skin grafts. The doctors believe the Hidradenitis Suppurativa caused me to have Cellulitis in my legs. That was even more painful. I couldn’t walk it hurt so bad. I’ve also had surgery on my groin area. There were many sleepless nights. My nerves were shot. All I could do was cry and pray. I gained about 30 to 40 pounds. Which didn’t help my anxiety and depression. Moving forward to 2023. I’m much better. All glory to GOD. I’m working on getting healthy and losing this weight. Becoming more sociable. Ready to get my fire back. I love when people overcome what tried to take them out. I’m a Lioness survivor at best. My next Surgery will be on August 23rd. This condition is not for the weak. If anything it shows your strength. We endure a lot. I have started taking Humira. It has lessened some of my symptoms. The journey continues. Thankful that GOD gives me the strength to keep going. I’m very grateful for my mother and my support system. It takes a village.
