From Survivor to System-Changer: Shanise Pearce on Advocacy, Hereditary Cancer, Early Detection & Health Equity

This powerful conversation features Shanise Pearce, Founder & CEO of The Advocate’s Table—a patient advocacy organization advancing equitable access to early detection, genetic screening, and survivor support for communities impacted by hereditary cancers.

As a triple-negative breast cancer survivor living with Lynch Syndrome and carrying PMS2 and BRCA2 gene mutations, Shanise transforms lived experience into action. 

From testifying before state lawmakers to serving in leadership roles with the American Cancer Society and Susan G. Komen, her work addresses barriers to diagnostics, gaps in patient navigation, and the disproportionate cancer burden faced by underserved communities.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about:
 Genetic testing & early detection
 Patient-centered care
 Health equity & policy advocacy
