Debbie Millman Instagram – When @suleikajaouad was a young woman, she wanted to be a foreign correspondent. That career plan was upended by a cancer diagnosis when she was 22 years old, but in spite of being told she only had a 35% chance of survival, her creative ambitions didn’t diminish. They turned inward. Suleika wrote about surviving cancer in “Life Interrupted,” her Emmy Award-winning column and video series for The New York Times. She’s also written a New York Times bestselling memoir about the experience titled “Between Two Kingdoms.” More recently, her cancer returned and she had a second bone-marrow transplant. That experience is chronicled in the multiple award-winning Netflix documentary “American Symphony,” which also features her husband, the celebrated musician Jon Batiste, as he composed his first symphony for Carnegie Hall. In this episode we talk about creativity in its many forms, experiencing life’s highest highs and lowest lows at the very same time, and what it means to really live.
