Traci Doutaz, also known as Doutaz Mania from the Lowcountry Highrollers roller derby team in Charleston, South Carolina, joins BIG Ben Kennedy for an open and moving conversation. Traci shares her fight with breast cancer, how roller derby led her to the doctor, and what it means to keep skating as a powerful female facing tough odds. This episode truly shines a light on strength, laughter, and finding community through the hardest battles.
Traci’s story is about more than illness—it's about family, friendships, and the guts it takes to go “All In”. You’ll also get a glimpse into the supportive and wild world of roller derby, where strong women push each other on and off the track. If you’re dealing with cancer, supporting someone who is you’re not alone. Traci asks anyone looking to help to support real people in need, not just giant pink ribbon charities.
