Meet Roslyn
Roslyn English has spent a lifetime in service — as a widowhood mentor, cancer advocate, theatre leader, and woman of great courage. After losing her husband in a tragic accident, surviving breast cancer, and navigating profound grief, Roslyn chose not to close her heart — but to open it even wider. She now shares her story to support others, speak truth to power, and remind every woman that courage lives in the everyday.
Her talks, mentoring, and writing are all guided by one message: you can begin again — even here.
