Meet Yvette Salinas

Yvette Salinas has lived with Lupus for over 30 years. What began as a devastating diagnosis became the foundation of a life devoted to faith, advocacy, and community.

As a National Hispanic Facilitator for the Lupus Foundation of America, Yvette has dedicated herself to reaching underserved communities — bringing education, support, and hope to those who need it most.

Her book, Faith Leads the Way, is a deeply personal account of her journey — the pain, the breakthroughs, and the unshakeable belief that God's purpose is greater than any diagnosis.

Yvette is also the founder of Juicy Fruits Ministry, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports individuals and families navigating chronic illness through faith-based community and practical resources.
