Sara Sidner, a CNN anchor, went public with her stage III breast cancer diagnosis in January 2024 to raise awareness about the disease, especially among Black women who face higher mortality rates. Initially planning to keep her diagnosis private, she felt compelled to share her journey when it became evident she needed intensive treatment. Sidner has used social media to share her experiences and demystify the cancer treatment process, aiming to combat stigma and encourage conversations within communities of color.
"Living, and helping someone else live through this, is a far greater power."
"There is a shame around it. There is a fear around just the word cancer, Sidner says."
