Dearest Community,

This is Sam, writing this GoFundMe on behalf of my cousin Shenae Craig.

Shenae is a woman of many talents and identities. Whether you’ve met her out canvassing for a political campaign, danced at a party she’s deejayed, or spotted her capturing content at a WNBA game, you know Shenae is a force to be reckoned with. She is a writer, a journalist, a cultural curator, a community organizer, a DJ, and so much more.

She’s also a daughter, a sister, a cousin, a friend, a community member, and someone in need of our support.

In March 2025, Shenae was diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer. Metastatic breast cancer is cancer in its most advanced stage. It is cancer that has spread from the breasts to distant body parts like the bones. It is a lifelong condition and can be profoundly debilitating.

So for Shenae, that means that life looks a lot different now.

Earlier in 2025, you likely saw Shenae out canvassing for Mayor Mamdani.
