Leanne Pero discusses her experiences of life before, during and after breast cancer, and how it inspired her to advocate for herself and others like her.

Leanne Pero is an ex-dance teacher, entrepreneur and author who was diagnosed with breast cancer five years ago. Faced with an uphill battle and the stigma of her diagnosis, Leanne felt like she had to endure her treatment alone. Now, she is a passionate advocate and the founder of an organization dedicated to empowering Black women in all aspects of life and to giving them a space to speak freely and change the narrative around cancer. We created this short film to tell the story of how Leanne moved beyond her diagnosis and used her experience to inspire change and empower others.
