Diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma at just 18, Delta was forced to step away from the spotlight just as her music was going global.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>We talk about what it’s like to lose your voice—literally. In her thirties, Delta underwent surgery that left her unable to speak, let alone sing, forcing her to re-learn how to communicate. We talk about the strength it takes to survive something like that not once, but twice—and how both of those moments reshaped her sense of self.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>She tells me about the viral Beyoncé concert clip that turned her into a meme—and why it ended up being one of the most liberating moments of her life.  </p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><strong>LET’S STAY IN TOUCH</strong></p>\n<p>🗣 Got something to share?
