While the internet has its fair share of vile things, it is packed with people and content that aims to give humor, entertainment, motivation, and inspiration. Multiple influencers and content creators shed light on positivity, faith, and hope, and among the most prominent is Isabella Strahan.
As of this writing, Isabella Strahan trends as YouTube’s Creator On The Rise. She is an influencer who launched her YouTube channel on January 7, 2024, with over 22K subscribers and an Instagram account with 66K followers. Despite her channel’s recent launch, she has already amassed thousands of avid viewers, gaining her YouTube Creator on The Rise spot.
The rising content creator is the daughter of Michael Strahan, a notable TV personality, journalist, and former professional football player. For the past month, Isabella Strahan and his dad have been making headlines because of Isabella’s illness.
In October 2023, Isabella was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a cancerous brain tumor. Since then, she has been completely open about her illness and road to recovery. She uses her YouTube channel to shed light on what she’s been going through and her chemotherapy and radiation journey and recovery, among others.
According to Women’s Health, Isabella revealed in one of her vlogs how nervous she was about starting her chemotherapy sessions, and we rejoice with her for overcoming what seemed to be the biggest hurdle of her life.
Isabella Strahan’s most popular video, “Vlog #1: How It Started,” gives a walkthrough of who she is and how she found out about her medulloblastoma. She donated all the proceeds of that video to the Preston Robert Tisch Brain Tumor Center at Duke.

Prior to her diagnosis, Isabella worked on an ad with makeup giant Sephora. However, she’s courageously accepted in her vlog that over the past months following her diagnosis, she never felt like the woman in the ad. In August 2023, Isabella moved to LA to pursue her studies and career. The following month, she had a headache, felt dizzy and nauseous, and couldn’t walk in a straight line. She primarily thought she had vertigo, but little did she know that those were the earliest manifestations of her illness.
On October 19, 2023, she had her tumor removed from her brain and spent her birthday nine days later at the hospital. Despite the changes, struggles, and rough times, Isabella gathered her strength and courage to face what she was going through head-on.
The biggest lesson she learned from her experience with cancer is that she ought to look at the beauty of everything and turn the negative into something positive. Isabella finds beauty in how her whole family and loved ones get along, fighting hand-in-hand with her. She saw unconditional love in full display.
Isabella Strahan uses her platform to share her story, hoping to help someone facing the same battle.
Life is different for everyone, and we all face distinct battles. We are very much grateful for creators and influencers like Isabella Strahan, who stands as a beacon of light and hope. She truly deserves love and support, not just from her family and loved ones but from people across the world.
