In celebration of her birthday, we're sharing @marissajaretwinokur's 2009 cover story.

She once kept her cervical cancer diagnosis a secret, but now speaks openly about it in order to bring awareness and help others.

“I feel like it would be irresponsible of me not to talk about it. My story is one of hope. I want young women who are faced with a hysterectomy to know that they can have children. They do have options. There are many different ways to become a mom.”

One in a million. Those were the words used to describe Anne with an E actress @miranda.mckeon stage III hormone-positive breast cancer diagnosis in June 2021. An extremely rare diagnosis for a healthy 19-year-old with no family history of cancer.

“I think with any life-threatening situation, you’re shown the fragility of life through a magnifying glass. It’s really scary. But it can also be really beautiful.”
