Randa Shami enjoys writing poetry about her experiences of joy, loss and as a way to find light in the darkest of times. At the age of eleven she lost her mother to ovarian cancer, having watched her battle the disease for ten years. Twenty years later she too was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, having inherited a mutated gene called BRCA1, which had been passed down from her mother, and her mother’s mother. Through writing, she found her strength to keep fighting and found she could make sense of something that she felt had no rationale.
