Candid and emotional, this interview with Michelle Anderson-Benjamin, who was diagnosed first with early-stage breast cancer during the pandemic and then, soon after completing treatment, with metastatic breast cancer, brings our 3-episode series for those newly diagnosed with MBC into the realm of advocacy.

Michelle shares her experiences as a health care professional who looked around and found that not only were resources lacking, her own doctors couldn't show her how her path might look. This is a candid conversation about seeing shortcomings and taking action to make things better for yourself and for those who come after. For Michelle, that meant incorporating the training from advocacy organizations like For the Breast of Us and Living Beyond Breast Cancer into her own organization, The Fearless Warrior Project.

OMBCL co-hosts Nancy Roylance, Ashley Fernandez, and Martha Carlson sat down with Michelle to learn about her challenges processing and growing through this diagnosis. Her story of resilience and action will resonate and inspire.
