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
"Only the Silent Suffers" by Asja Godbolt
An excerpt from Asja's story:
"It’s funny how something so devastating is supposed to make you feel sad and give up, but little did breast cancer know I had already done the unthinkable. --the worst to me -- so this was just a cleansing process. Breast cancer literally cleared everything and everyone out my life that was not conducive for my health and growth. Needless to say, my life got silent again however, this time I heard two voices louder than ever before- Me and God. Everything I have ever wanted was inside me the whole time! The love, the support, protection, peace, joy, and all the magic has been silenced, and I have given myself permission to speak LOUDLY! You Night is confirmation that my God is in fact real. Just when my spirit was ready, God presented the stage and I received a phone call from the most kindest voice, Lisa McKenzie who offered this heavenly gift for me to share Me. I'm extremely grateful because I went through 27 rounds of chemo, 25 sessions of radiation, bilateral mastectomy, 56 appointments and counting, and reconstructive surgery physically just Me and God. I drove myself home each round of chemo, I drove myself each session, I rang the bells by myself but now I have a Sisterhood so big we need name tags and I’m tremendously grateful."
