Four-time Olympian and American high jump record holder Chaunté Lowe joins The Unexpected Detour ❤️ to talk about the hardest competition of her life: triple-negative breast cancer.
Chaunté opens up about training and competing while in treatment, advocating for herself in a system that doesn’t always listen to Black women, and finding hope when fear was loud and the future felt uncertain.
This episode is for anyone sitting in a waiting room, navigating a new diagnosis, or walking alongside someone they love.
We talk about:
Life before cancer and the pressure of performing at the highest level
The day she heard the words “triple-negative breast cancer”
Balancing motherhood, marriage, and treatment
Why early detection and self-advocacy are critical—especially for Black women
What hope looks like now, beyond the stadium lights
If this conversation encourages you, share it with a Survivor, Thriver, or sister in the fight who needs to know she’s not alone.
