🌸 This Breast Cancer Awareness Month: A Story of Resilience & Transformation

Meet Dr Sarah Jennifer Maongezi, Project Lead for the East Africa Comprehensive Women’s Cancer Project, a seasoned physician and public health specialist from Tanzania whose life took an unexpected turn. She had the textbooks. She had the solutions. Then she became the case study.

One small lump on her breast transformed her overnight from advocate to patient, from protector to survivor. In this powerful episode, Dr Maongezi shares her personal journey: the fear, the diagnosis, the fight, and the victory. But she didn’t stop there. Her battle lit a spark for change, turning her story of survival into a national and regional campaign to raise awareness, drive early detection, and challenge the status quo for women’s cancer in East Africa.

Join us for an intimate conversation about courage, purpose and hope. If you’ve ever wondered how one life’s shift can change many others, tune in and be inspired.
