Emily Somers
Emily is a strong and inspirational woman who has felt the full impact of cancer after being diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma on her 27th birthday, which later returned, and was then followed a second diagnosis of a rare cancer, sarcoma in 2019. Despite all this, Emily has come out the other side with a beautiful son, Sidney, and a business full of heart aptly named, Bravery Co.
Inspired by her own experience of chemo, cancer, naps, and turbans, Emily established Bravery Co. Her mission is to create beautiful designer silk headwear for individuals impacted by cancer, to give bravery to those going through something she knows only too well.
