Mikari Tarpley Mikari was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma during the COVID-19 pandemic. Weeks of chemotherapy brought on some difficult side effects, but Mikari has never lost her upbeat spirit. Mikari is now cancer-free although she has regular scans to watch for recurrance. For Mikari's 16th birthday she decided to raise fund and awareness for Sickle Cell Anemia in lieu of gifts. Mikari loves acting and has even appeared on Broadway.
