Leanne Pero, community entrepreneur, breast cancer survivor, author, mentor and founder of Black Women Rising joins Happiful's podcast to talk about her life experiences, why counselling is so important to her and why she felt compelled to support other Black women living through cancer with Black Women Rising. 

Please note that there are conversations about childhood sexual abuse and trauma around cancer, so please be aware if these subjects are triggering for you.
