Black Women Rising Podcasts
*Update* Episode 4- Black Men Rising
Awesome! It was so good to hear the stories directly from the men going through cancer. Well done guys, it was enlightening and also inspiring to hear you speak your truths. This is powerful and is the beginning of more to come. Thank you.
This is an amazing set of podcasts reflecting on the BAME experience of being diagnosed and living with Cancer.
Cancer does not have a preference, it affects anyone, anytime, anywhere. Listen to the podcasts each week as they cover many topics, especially the secrecy and cultural experiences that make it that much harder to circumnavigate living with and being treated for Cancer.
This is my go-to every week! Well done BWR and guests to date.
Mrs
Honestly, such a great listen, unlike any other podcast out there - I was blown away and brought to tears by the stories and experiences shared by these incredibly brave women, not to mention Leanne herself. Such important messages in survival, positivity, energy, love, friendships, family and perspective. Black Women Rising is a beautiful and much needed platform supporting black women who have had or are currently going through cancer and being in neither of those categories, I still thoroughly enjoyed this podcast and have taken a lot of life lessons from it. Keep going girl, you rock.
