The Burn

Finding Hidden Silver Linings with Tamira Jubber


Listen Later

Tamira Jubber was 29 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Her story is one about finding meaning in life experiences that spanned from a childhood in Zimbabwe to a sudden departure to the US, and then to a breast cancer diagnosis that ran parallel to her sister donating a kidney to a stranger. This is the story of one woman asking why her life path has led where it has, and discovering some answers along the way through the help of a few decades’ view and some unexpected twists that led to chance encounters. In this episode, Tamira reads her piece “‘Linda: My Tamoxifen Tester‘” from Wildfire Magazine’s 2021 “Bay Area Young Survivors” issue.
