She shares how her upbringing, from Liberia to building a life in the U.S., shaped her instinct to advocate for herself and others. And how, after her first chemotherapy treatment, she began building Tigerlily with nothing but a question, a prayer, and a purpose. They get real about what it means to thrive after cancer — physically, mentally, and emotionally. From daily practices  to discipline to building community. Maimah shows that longevity isn’t just about time.It’s about how you choose to live it.
