Isabella, Michael Strahan’s daughter, shows off her gorgeous curly hair after beating cancer — photos.

“I really value my hair now because I do think I took it for granted before,” she told PEOPLE. “I just want to protect this hair really well.”

Rebirth: Education, Modeling, and a Voice for Others

Beyond hair, beyond treatment — Isabella is moving forward in life. As of early 2025, she returned to USC to continue her studies.

She described the time since being declared cancer‑free as a reset: “It feels like I’m starting over,” she told PEOPLE.

She’s also stepping back into modeling. In 2025, she was featured in a campaign for Kenneth Cole’s “Purposeful Voices” collection — a powerful statement that life after cancer doesn’t mean invisibility, but renewed visibility.

Moreover, she’s using her voice to raise awareness for cancer patients — especially young people facing serious illness.

She’s spoken publicly about the importance of advocating for one’s own health, trusting one’s body, and acting when something doesn’t feel right.

In a 2025 interview she encouraged people to “stay positive but always really know in your mind if something’s wrong.”

She also announced that her story will be shared in an upcoming special on ABC — a chance to shine a light on the realities of brain cancer, survival, and recovery.

2. Resilience, Even When the Path Is Terrifying

What she endured — multiple surgeries, radiation, chemotherapy, physical pain, emotional strain — is hard to imagine. But she showed strength, honesty, and vulnerability.
