Stacey Tinianov, Founder and Executive Director at Advocates for Collaborative Education, shared Wenora Johnson’s, Administrative Support, Chain Reaction Innovations at Argonne National Laboratory and Research, post on LinkedIn, adding:
“This!

Thank you Wenora Johnson for sharing your reality and bringing ‘a sense of urgency and awareness about the dangers of hidden secrets around family health.’
While these conversations now seem obvious when it comes to understanding risks for Lynch Syndrome and/or a variety of other cancers driven by germline variants, there is still so much we don’t know about hereditary diseases. And we won’t know if there is a ‘there-there’ unless we start to talk about it.”
Quoting Wenora Johnson‘s post:
“Breaking generational silence and turning lived experience into purpose, because knowing your story can save your life.”
