This week we start out the episode with a big career update from Shannon and how she’s beginning to process this life shift. Then we go into our incredible interview with Jasmine Dionne Souers, breast cancer survivor and President and CEO of The Missing Pink Breast Cancer Alliance, which connects change agents to improve the lives of people of color affected by breast cancer. We start with Jasmine’s diagnosis story, how it took about 5 months to finally get an answer and all of the different screenings she needed to do in order for her doctor to officially diagnose her. She shares how her oncologist decided on the treatment plan, which was to skip chemo and go right into radiation, and she just finished hormone treatment this year after 5 years! Jasmine goes into how it feels to be done with her hormone therapy and how much her body has been affected. She also shares how she is now in a transitional space in the cancer community, moving on from being apart of certain aspects of the community and what this pivot from her original business to The Missing Pink has looked like so far. She also shares how her goal is to use her power to change systems to help improve the lives of people of color affected by breast cancer by offering support and advocacy.
