Manage episode 505505778 series 2848411
246. This week I’m joined by my friend, burlesque artist and performance scholar Alyssa Kitt Hanley, who shares her long, painful, and extraordinary journey from misdiagnosis of Bell's Palsy to discovering stage 4 cancer in her facial nerve in 2023. Alyssa opens up about conquering cancer, living with facial disability, and the profound impact this had on her body, identity, and artistry. We also talk about the power of community, the complexities of expression, and how gratitude, friendship, family, and collaboration shaped her healing.
