On this episode of SIS: Sisters In Survivorship, host Caleen Allen sits down with reality star and breast cancer survivor Kimberlee Scott from Love & Marriage: Huntsville. Known for her transparency and courage, Kimberlee opens up about her 2022 diagnosis with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), one of the most aggressive forms of breast cancer that disproportionately impacts Black women.

In this emotional and powerful conversation, Kimberlee shares how she first discovered a lump while watching the NBA Finals, the whirlwind journey from diagnosis to treatment, and the role her husband, family, friends, and even her fans played in her survivorship. She also explains why she chose to go public with her story, how she’s using her platform to amplify awareness, and why early detection and self-advocacy are non-negotiable.

For women under 40 and for anyone walking this journey: Kimberlee’s story is proof that you are not alone, and survivorship is possible.
