This conversation is part of our new Resilient Voices series, spotlighting real stories, expert insights, and transformational tools from people who are redefining what resilience looks like in everyday life.
In this episode of Root to Resilience, I sit down with Samina Hussain, a breast cancer survivor, advocate, and founder of Sakoon Through Cancer. When Samina was diagnosed in 2014, her world turned upside down – but instead of staying silent, she chose to share her story, build a community, and help other South Asian women speak openly about their experiences with cancer.
