14th Annual Flight of the Butterflies- Butterflies of Hope Lupus Warrior Stories is a powerful celebration of strength, survival, and spirit. Through the eyes and hearts of lupus warriors, we share stories that often go unseen. Stories of pain, resilience, and triumph! These butterflies may have been battered by the storm, but they continue to rise, wings open, ready to soar.
At Lupus In Color, we honor each journey as a flight of courage and beauty, reminding the world that even in the midst of lupus, warriors still fly.

Fight of the Butterflies
Lupus Warrior Jatcirya Michellee Medina
Hi, my name is Jatcirya Michellee Medina I’m 32 years old Puerto Rican from the boogie down Bronx . I was diagnose with systemic lupus in 2017. My jounery with lupus has been a roller coaster , and it’s honestly has taking a lot from me physically , mentally and emotionally, and it’s hasn’t been easy.
It’s a continuous of relearning myself , and loving myself again and again when I have a new flare or scar on my body. Also Learning to adjust my life style from my career and being a mother.
I haven’t really seen anyone like me who has lupus. So I decided to share my story to world , maybe this may help someone or encourage someone. No matter what you’re beautiful, powerful courageous, keep pushing. God makes no mistakes and he loves you !
