AMY BYER SHAINMAN, also known as BRCA Responder, is an advocate, author, and producer providing support and education surrounding BRCA and other hereditary cancer syndromes. She's the executive producer of the award-winning documentary Pink & Blue: Colors of Hereditary Cancer. @brcaresponder

Shainman is a BRCA1 gene mutation carrier and a "previvor"--meaning she is a survivor of a predisposition to cancer (a previvor is someone at extraordinarily high risk for cancer who has not had the disease). In 2010, she had two prophylactic surgeries to reduce her cancer risk drastically; a nipple-sparing, skin-sparing mastectomy with reconstruction and oophorectomy with a hysterectomy.

Cure Magazine, The Jewish Journal, and The Palm Beach Post have featured Shainman's story. Shainman's medical memoir "Resurrection Lily" has won several literary awards and was the December 2020 book club selection of The National Library of Medicine.

Shainman's current project is LADY. She is a producer on the scripted feature film that highlights what it's like to be a BRCA positive female at high risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer.
