From The Sun
THE chef Elle Simone Scott, who starred in the hit show America’s Test Kitchen, has died at the age of 49 following a cancer battle.
Scott joined the program in 2016 and tributes have poured in for the celebrity chef and cookbook author.
Her death was announced on January 5, as reported by the Massachusetts radio station WBUR.
She died almost nine years after she was first diagnosed with stage one ovarian cancer.
Scott had previously spoken out about how she lived with the disease and described herself not as a “survivor” but a “thriver” in an interview with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Scott, from Detroit, was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2016.

RIP, sis.
Now every time I notice a Black woman is diagnosed with ovarian or uterine cancer I think of how prevalent hair relaxers were. In middle school it was a rite of passage to get that first perm. Then the touchups every 6 (?) weeks. If we only knew what we were doing to ourselves. Just like the generous sprinkles of baby powder we grew up on. That isht's dangerous. And those companies knew for years. It makes me so angry.
R.I.P.
Start drinking Soursop tea y’all. Look it up. Look what it does. Sip. Sip. Sip. Sip.
Thank you for honoring her life and work.
Is it me, or does the AVERAGE 40+ year old seem to be sickly. I started looking around and it seems like so many people I see in the streets have some sort of physical health concern. I think our society is creating much more sickly people.
