Ep 01 Retinoblastoma - I'm a Cancer Survivor

Imagine what life would be like if you had one eye. Would you work less or work harder? In this first episode of the Living Legacy Podcast Series, I begin by sharing the story where it all began: my cancer story. I share how a photograph my mother took lead to a diagnosis of Bilateral Retinoblastoma, how chemotherapy affected my hearing. Resiliency led me to not let my diagnosis and disabilities hinder my gift as a professional photographer and all the things I enjoy and have achieved to this day.
