Shaunté Monét Smith was diagnosed with HER2-positive breast cancer, but she kept it a secret from her friends and family for a very long time. She eventually gathered the courage to tell everyone as she disclosed the information on her YouTube channel, Fighting H.E.R. 2. Shaunté Monét has expressed that the diagnosis really changed her life. She created the YouTube channel to not only educate and spread awareness about breast cancer, but also to give women a peace of mind as they go through the same journey as she did.
In her videos, Shaunté Monét talks about chemotherapy, radiation, hair loss, surgeries, among many things. She even gets personal, talking about the changes in her sex life and personal life. She discusses egg freezing, body image, mental health, and continuing her thriving modeling career. Her YouTube channel is her way of giving back, since during her battle with cancer, she didn’t have a real person with personal experiences to talk to.
She wishes for other women to feel a sense of companionship from her videos. Rather than just googling what’s in store for them or hearing it straight from their doctors, Shaunté Monét wishes to fill the void of personal interactions that most women who are suffering with cancer often feel.
