Bershan Shaw was In her early 30s when she received news that she had stage four breast cancer and had just three months to live. At that moment, the self-proclaimed “multipreneur,” who has shared the stage with celebrities including Tony Robbins and Pitbull, decided to take a figurative journey into herself, and a literal one around the globe, to gain a fresh perspective and a new lease on life, no matter how long she had. In so doing, the “Real Housewives of New York City” star summoned her inner warrior and defied the odds, beating her illness.
As a speaker, advocate and author of The Unstoppable Warrior Woman, Shaw works to empower others through a wellness based approach, connecting the mind, body, and spirit.
