Join us for an inspiring conversation with Staten Island author, speaker, breast cancer survivor, and community advocate Chrisie Canny, joined by several of the women who contributed to her book, Lifted, By My Girls!
About Chrisie:
Chrisie Canny is a breast cancer survivor, author, speaker, and community advocate who believes that hope grows when women share their stories. Inspired by her own journey, she created Lifted, By My Girls!, an anthology that brings together the voices of breast cancer survivors to educate, encourage, and remind women they are never alone.
Through speaking engagements, workshops, and survivor panels featuring many of the book’s contributing authors, Chrisie helps create meaningful conversations about early detection, self-advocacy, healing, and hope. Her mission is to ensure that every woman facing a breast cancer diagnosis has access to the knowledge, encouragement, and community she deserves.
Chrisie believes that when women lift one another, lives are changed—one story at a time.
