Esménia Cuna is a survivor. She managed to win a long and hard battle against breast cancer, in a story of overcoming and resilience that she ended up seeing as a divine message.

With this experience, Esménia Cuna understood that she should focus her efforts on fighting cancer, helping other women facing the same disease. Therefore, whenever she can, she gives talks and provides support. In addition, she is about to officially launch an association dedicated to the fight against cancer.

“The association will be active next year, because now it’s important to have a group, a network (...). We want to help many people: men, women and children,” she explained in an interview with MozaVibe magazine.

In this inspiring conversation, led by Tanuja Viriato, the founder of MozaVibe, Cuna spoke about the feeling of fear and despair that grips people with cancer, due to the idea that it could be the end of their lives.

“It’s important to deconstruct the link between cancer and death. To believe in yourself and be resilient. It’s important not to be ashamed of your physical condition because it’s natural,” she stated.
