This episode's guest is Wildfire’s own Angela Firman.  She helps edit each issue of the magazine.  Angela was diagnosed initially at 33 with Stage III hormone-positive breast cancer and she is now living with Stage IV metastatic disease. Angela is an avid reader, a closet-cross-stitcher, and a fervent writer. In addition to working at Wildfire Magazine, Angela is an Associate Editor for Yellow Arrow Publishing, and her nonfiction writing has been published in Open Minds Quarterly, You Might Need To Hear This, and Press Pause. Angela reads her piece “Looking Beyond the Veil” from Wildfire Magazine’s 2021 “Grief & Acceptance” issue. Her essay is about seeing the world through a new lens after a cancer diagnosis.  April and Angela will discuss Angela’s cancer recurrence, how cancer can be part of your identity working within the community, and finding hope and transformation in the sharing of both metastatic and early-stage breast cancer stories.  They will also discuss tips on writing memoir.
