A Legacy Project by Danyel Rogers
MISSION
The Warrior Women Portrait Experience honors women who've had cancer by capturing their resilience and beauty through powerful, artistic portraiture. These sessions create a space of empowerment, visibility, and healing—transforming the face of survivorship and strength into a lasting legacy.
ARTIST BACKGROUND
In 2022, I battled triple-negative breast cancer, a rare and aggressive form. By the end of the year I was considered in remission.
On May 1, 2023, I launched Warrior Women Portrait Experience to give back to the community that walked alongside me.
In August 2024, I learned my cancer had metastasized to my lungs and lymphatic system. With a shortened lifespan, these sessions are now not just a project—but a life legacy.
As of today, I have already photographed 75 incredible warriors, each one adding to a growing body of work that celebrates courage, resilience, and beauty.
PROJECT GOALS (2025–2026)
Portrait Sessions – Travel to major U.S. cities to photograph hundreds more women who have had a cancer diagnosis.
Warrior Coffee Table Book – Compile portraits and stories into a published book, preserving these legacies for families, communities, and future generations.
WHY NOW
With a prognosis of just two years on average, time is urgent. Every session matters. Each woman’s story deserves to be captured before it’s too late—for them, and for me.
