This week on Womenstrual: The Podcast, we’re joined by Leanne Pero MBE — award-winning speaker, author, social entrepreneur, dancer, and breast cancer survivor.


After facing childhood trauma and a breast cancer diagnosis, Leanne Pero built two powerful businesses — The Movement Factory and Black Women Rising — showing us that purpose often begins where the pain once lived.


In this episode, we talk about:

💬 Healing from childhood trauma

💃 How dance changed her life and career

🎗️ The lack of representation in cancer communities

👑 Empowering Black women through advocacy and storytelling

🌟 What she’s most looking forward to in a new decade
