Meet Your Hosts: Lyn and Jehan


Lyn and Jehan are dedicated to supporting women navigating their breast cancer journey. As breast cancer survivors themselves, they have a passion for connecting survivors to meaningful resources, bringing hope, encouragement, and a welcoming presence to every BRA Banter session.


Both were diagnosed while raising young children, so they understand the challenges of “joining the club no one wants to join.” They are committed to showing that there’s a thriving, compassionate community waiting on the other side—ready to help, inspire, and uplift.

Explore Our Past Events


Each BRA Banter session offers insights to empower survivors at every stage of their journey. Past events have covered a range of impactful topics, including palliative care, cognitive changes due to chemotherapy, genetic testing, dental health, and more.


Recordings of each BRA Banter are posted after the event so that you can catch up on anything you missed, revisit your favorite topics, or share sessions with friends who could benefit. We’re here to make sure you stay connected and informed every step of the way!
