Still I Rise Podcast
Featuring everyday Shereos sharing inspiring stories of how they persevered after a life- altering event.
Story Crafting is a program of You Night Empowering Events and the We Lift You Up Fund - a 501c3 public charity. Our primary focus is to address emotional healing and to help women find a path forward after a cancer diagnosis. However, future plans include stories of trials and triumph from every walk of life.
Thank you to our sponsor, Dr. Martha Stewart, Board Certified Dermatologist
Dr. Martha E. Stewart is board certified by the American Board of Dermatology and specializes in medical, surgical, and cosmetic dermatology for patients of all ages. Dermatology plays an important role in detecting and treating skin cancer. Skin cancer is almost always curable if detected and treated early.
Skin cancers vary in shape, color, size and texture, so any new, changed or otherwise suspicious growths or rashes should be examined immediately by a board certified dermatologist. Early intervention is essential to prevent the cancer from spreading.

Still I Rise Podcast
"ROAR!" by Lisa Marie-Izzo
Excerpt from Lisa's story:
"I do not want to cry. I look beyond. Why am I not vulnerable? Why do I not shed tears? Maybe because I adopted the hang loose attitude from the islands. I thought about it– no. Maybe because I was a bulldog. I borrowed military ideals. I thought about it–no.
My heritage is that of Yankee, Irish and Italian. This is my pride. I am a lion! Lions are decisive, confident, leaders. A lion is brave, loyal, protective, and takes care of their pride. They value independence, strength and competence. A lion serves others. Lions roar when their control is challenged. Death is out of our control. So I came from a family of lions that taught me I need not cry. I need to persevere and push through the pain. I am me and need to keep on keeping on."
Lisa is a member of the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation SheRose Class of 2024.
