Please join us on National Previvor Day for an evening of powerful storytelling as we dive into the courageous experiences of previvors profiled in Ali Rogin's upcoming book, Beat Breast Cancer Like a Boss: 30 Powerful Stories. Ali, a previvor herself, along with a panel of participants from her book, will share their inspiring stories, experiences and advice for tackling hereditary cancer risk, all while never losing sight of careers, families and goals. Panelists include Kara DioGuardi (a Grammy-nominated songwriter, former American Idol judge, record executive and philanthropist) and Mary Powell (who served as CEO of Green Mountain Power from 2008-2020). You will leave this event feeling empowered and inspired. Other high-profile women featured in her book include Edie Falco, Sheryl Crow, Athena Jones and Heidi Heitkamp.

Writing About Your
Hereditary Cancer Journey

Watch an evening with two authors, Mary Ladd and Grace Talusan, who chronicle their experiences with hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in their books: The Wig Diaries and The Body Papers. Both women use contrasting styles of irreverent humor and informed sincerity to wade through the physical complexities and emotional layers that a diagnosis sends rippling across the lives and relationships of the affected women and families. Mary and Grace speak to the process of writing their memoirs, share excerpts from their works and answer questions from the audience. All are welcome, including those who have read and not read the books. You will walk away from this event knowing that stories can change not only us, but also those who hear them.
