When Lightning Strikes Twice: The Making of an Unlikely Warrior
What transforms a weather forecaster into a fierce advocate? The answer lies in the devastating spring of 2020, when Janice Dean lost both in-laws within nine days to COVID-19-not simply to the virus, but to a catastrophic policy failure. Mickey and Dee Newman died in separate New York nursing homes after Governor Andrew Cuomo's March 25th mandate forced facilities to accept COVID-positive patients while simultaneously barring them from testing incoming residents. As the governor appeared nightly on television, winning an Emmy and securing a $5.1 million book deal for his "leadership lessons," Dean faced a choice: remain silent or risk everything to demand accountability. Despite explicit warnings about Cuomo's notorious retaliation against critics, something inside wouldn't let her stay quiet. Her journey from grief-stricken daughter-in-law to movement leader reveals how personal tragedy can ignite systemic change-and how speaking truth to power often begins with a single, terrified voice.
