Summary
In this powerful segment from SIS: Sisters In Survivorship, two-time breast cancer survivor Dee Manuel Cloud breaks down the truth about survivorship and why it doesn’t end when you ring the bell. She explains how stress weakens the immune system, why Black women face higher mortality rates, and how the “Strong Black Woman” narrative leads to burnout, suppressed emotions, and poor health outcomes. Dee shares the strategies that helped her stay in remission — from morning routines to accountability partners — and why boundaries, self-advocacy, and saying no are lifesaving tools for Black women. ✨ A must-watch for anyone navigating stress, survivorship, or high-pressure environments.
